What does that have to do with anything? NS1 is saying he shouldn't have done it.

CanOWorms indeed.

Drudge is such an idiot for doing this.

This is an interesting situation. There was no need for Drudge to reveal his status and location. By doing so they are damn near certain to get people from his unit killed. So is DR now responsible for murder?

Yeah, this is defintaly pretty shafty. It's not like the government is trying to hide something that sketchy, they are just trying to protect Harry and his comrads, no need for the public to know where he is deployed to.

Drudge didn't endanger anyone. Harry was moved within an hour of Drudge's story - as he (Drudge) knew he would be. His former unit will not be any more of a target than any other unit. He's still an idiot for doing this though.

And I can't find any insignia on him? What rank is he?

Nevermind the hair! Notice how he's flanked with leet Asians!

ATOT never fails to disappoint.

What the pictures fail to show is the four Humvees and two Blackhawks that follow him around at all times.

 

[Safeway]

Yea, stupid that they released his location.

which means the media is directly effecting war efforts, and that they potentially just forced the removal of a unit that COULD be capable of extremely effective efforts, to be replaced with a unit that does NOT know the situation in the area to the extent that Harry's unit did.
again, fuck the media. War should NOT be something the media should constantly be reporting on... gives too much seemingly meaningless intel to the enemies, but does way more harm then they imagine.

:gasp: units he may actually have direct influence over?! NO WAI!
of course he is accompanied by armed guardians, he's a VIP that basically commanded himself into that position. But those units are not simply guarding Harry, they are actively being used by Harry and his men too.
and quite likely, the birds probably don't know who is on the ground. As few men as possible know it is Harry down there, because that's extremely useful intel if they were captured. They've already stated he has called for fire on a few targets, which suggests he is actively doing his job to the extent that he can, and to the extent that anyone can. That's the role his position has, to CFF when they discover enemy positions.

nothing wrong at all with him being there. he's doing the job any other soldier would do, and he wants to... when a soldier actively WANTS to be in the fight, he's probably going to be much better at his job than someone who hates everything about the war and is merely waiting for his chance to go home.

There is no reason to assume the entire unit was replaced. Harry was pulled, that's all we know. And as a former military person myself, I know that the media is always affecting the situation, that is not new. Drudge did not affect it anymore than other media reporting does. He's still an idiot for doing this though.

The Prince may have been moved, but his unit will probably be specifically targeted more because of this. Also, not all the fighters may have gotten the memo.

Why would his unit be targeted more? There isn't much of an upside for the Taliban. And trust me, if we know, they know.

 

[eakers]

he shouldn't be there to begin with.
aww poor baby wanted a normal life... wah wah wah

 

[mugs]

I never thought I'd find myself saying thank God for Drudge. The infamous US blogger has broken the best kept editorial secret of recent times. Editors have been sworn to secrecy over Prince Harry being sent to fight in Afghanistan three months ago. Drudge has blown their cover. One wonders whether viewers, readers and listeners will ever want to trust media bosses again.

WTF - the media agreed to not report something that is of no consequence, and that could not have happened if all if they had reported it. And we should distrust them because of this? Because that translates to willingness to conceal something that is not so inconsequential?

Matt Drudge is an asshole.

 

[clamum]

Now what was the point of releasing this report? Jeez. *shakes head*

quite true, the unit may still be there just with a new officer commanding. However, it seems the media has gotten more ravenous with this war then they ever have. This is based on what I've read, mind you... this is the first war I've been of age to even follow anything. Last war (Gulf War), I was like... 4? 5? And most of the things Clinton pursued, I was also too young to really care. More interested in Cartoon Network/Nickelodeon and SNES/N64 than news.

Without the media, there would be no Abu Ghraib, no Haditha, no wedding party massacre, etc. x1000.

Without media, our soldiers would be doing God knows what to innocent Iraqis without repercussions. The military has shown very little initiative in policing itself.

 

[SirStev0]

Wonder if they weren't saying anything because now Al-Qaeda will be gunning for him...

Wish him luck... hope he isn't captured...

Drudge is scum... loves the publicity of reporting on questionable things... Not surprised he'd endanger the Prince and his men's lives...
