Saw on the news today that Harry will be deployed, just not to Iraq.

From a military standpoint, it is an understandable position. His presence on the battlefield would be a distractor for his unit. Due to his status he would have to have a large personal security detail, and that would detract from the unit as well.

Given the current tactics being employed by the enemy, it is a wise choice. I could think of ways to capitalize on his presence, but it wouldn't be too politically correct.
