Prince Harry hails real heroes of Afghanistan

Hats off to Harry for being real, being honest, and standing up for what is right. I love that in a interview he says that his experience in Afghanistan is the high point of his life.

The lack of a smile said it all. Head bowed and still dressed in dusty desert combat clothing, the young Prince cut a forlorn­figure as he descended the steps of the aircraft after landing at RAF Brize Norton late yesterday morning.

While many of the other 170 servicemen and women might have cheered as the RAF Tristar touched down, Cornet Wales - who craved the anonymity that came with serving in Afghanistan - was left to ponder what might have been.

Just 48 hours earlier Prince Harry was having the "happiest time of his life" serving as an Army officer on operations close to the former Taliban stronghold of Musa Qala.
