What happens if Prince Harry gets killed in Iraq?

As an off topic post related to housing and investing, I noticed that the British Military has decided to send Prince Harry to Iraq.

Given the impacts of the War on the economy and psychology, Britan's de-involvment and of course, the general public's, both here and in the UK, fascination with Princess Diana and now her children.

Does anybody which to ponder public reaction and then the politico's over-reaction to the public if Prince Harry should somehow get killed in Iraq?

US housing market will

US housing market will collapse:

- Inventory will grow steadily over the summer
- Mortgage mess will get worse
- More and more fraud will be discovered
- Consumer confidence will decline
- US dollar will slump

Of course those things will happen if he DOESN'T get killed as well.

Believe me they'll keep him out of harms way.

No way should they send him

No way should they send him into Iraq. It is unfair not to make royality see conflict, but it is more unfair to his platoon members to put him in the fight. Those soldiers already have a strong chance of getting wounded or worse. Rest assured the enemy will throw everything they have at his platoon to kill him. His platoon members' chances of getting hurt or killed increase significantly by his presence. I would hate it if my child was stationed with him. It's a bad situation being made worse.

Well CT I guess we shouldn't

Well CT I guess we shouldn't be surprised if Harry has an "accident". Nothing too serious just bad enough to get him shipped back.

Hmm, I suspect shell fragments in the eye. Better rush him to the MASH.

I would think the military have taken a carefully calculated gamble, and I believe he will be assigned a desk job. As far as I can work out, insurgents are throwing pretty much everything they can at everyone anyway. The fact that he threatened to resign his commission if he wasn't allowed to go shows he doesn't want to be treated as a "special" case, which will go in his favour. I would think as many of his fellow soldiers would be disgruntled had he been given special treatment, and not allowed to go. In spite of that, an army's leaders ... generals, politicians will always be targets, and Kings have always fought alongside their soldiers. What's so different about a royal son?

Deployment called off. Nice to see some common sense with at least one government.

Yeah, Harry won't go Iraq

Yeah, Harry won't go Iraq after all.

It would be very ironic if Harry were to die in Iraq. It would mark the final close of Britain's long involvement in Mesopotamia. Perhaps a sign of the end of the British monarchy and empire. The Brits can't have that can they?
