Should Prince Harry’s deployment have been disclosed?
March 1st, 2008
Michael Yon clearly thinks not:
The ‘journalists’ who broke the story got their scoop, and in doing so, needlessly endangered the lives of patriotic soldiers. There was no compelling reason to report on Harry’s service in Afghanistan. No public good was served. Shame on those who risked British lives.
This need to know mentality which we have developed is not only ridiculous, it is terribly dangerous.
Instead of Prince Harry arriving home with his unit to the adulation of British citizens, he returns with the knowledge that his revealed deployment and unit leaves others in increased danger.
I honestly don’t know how some of these journalists look at themselves in the mirror every day.
Because Drudge posted this story and put Prince Harry’s life in danger we are joining Venomous Kate and many other bloggers who are boycotting Drudge. Special hat tip to Inside Charm City.
Join the movement: Drop Drudge.

A Heartwarming Homecoming

What an uplifting pictorial piece posted by Michael Yon.
Welcome Home. Well Done.
I could hear the school teachers saying quietely with their British accents to the soldiers as they marched by, “Good job. Welcome home. Well done. Welcome home. Good job. Welcome home.â€
There could be no better gift at Christmas for both these members of the British military or their families than their safe return to their homeland.
Thank you to each and every one of them for their service and, as always, thanks Michael for allowing us to learn through the lens of your camera and well written words, many of the aspects of this long, hard war.
