I'd think it would only piss the British off. It'd be like our reaction to 9/11. As I said before, some shit you do not want.
Ahh that article clarifies that William isn't eligible for combat service. Makes sense

I don't think it'd be quite the level of the 9/11 reaction, but there'd be a outpouring of outrage and anger over his death to be sure..
As for some shit you don't want - the IRA was well aware of that and off'ed a cell that was planning to kill the Queen Mum back in the 80s... now that would have resulted in something like or greater than the 9/11 reaction since she was seen as the kindly old grandmother by most of the population (and dearly loved by the military, especially the Scottish units).

Well another wrinkle/twist to the story of Prince Harry deploying to Iraq has been Blair's announcement of a British troop withdrawal from Iraq starting next week... so it looks like if Harry goes he'll be part of a much reduced force, and perhaps even there for the final withdrawal of British combat forces from Iraq (a Royal to witness the final hand-over?)

Both a shame and a wonderful thing. On one hand, we won't get to see Harry function as a commander but on the other, sending those troops home is the best that could happen since the war started.
Hopefully Blair will inflate his popularity ratings before he leaves office.

Actully Your Post Doesn't mean crap!
If He is gone, then He is gone! 
If a Royal is in the line of fire is not your decission is it? 
Why do you not join the fight and see if You wish to be in the line of fire!
Oh, Line of Fire is with real bullets coming at you or bombs going off that can blow your body into parts or have to go to rehab!
Granted the British Troops are there, they are in a much lower area of danger. Good for them!
Now, why do you not worry about The American Military that are getting killed? 
Let us flee from Iraq, let the asses wipe them selves out!
So, that will not mean that We Infandels will not die from their swords or Bombs.
God, You are fantastic!

Shut up and go away. Your post doesn't make an ounce of sense (like we're surprised) and you just dragged up something I didn't say in order to illiterately rant about it. How do you remember to breathe?

I read about it in people and I first thought it was kind of stupid because they are giving him extra security (duh) but I just think him going would make him more of a target and let's face it, if they (insurgants) want him (dead, kidnapped, whatever) they will find a way to get him.
Plus, I found the article incredibly annoying in implying that because Harry was 3rd in line for the throne that he was "expendable". I'm sorry, if god forbid, something happens to Charles and William, then Harry is up for the throne. Don't you think you'd want to protect him just a bit more.
I just thought it was rude of People to even imply that because he is 3rd in line that he was expendable. No one is expendable. The war is stupid anyways (yeah I'm not even going to go more into that).
Alphafrog- I totally agree let's send Bush and Cheney to the front lines and be "war monkeys' (LOL, I just wanted to say that  ). Then maybe they will realize that spending the billions upon billions that they are wasting on this stupid war is, just that, stupid!! Oh wait, that probably wouldn't happen even if a bomb blew up in their faces and they somehow managed to survive
