What I like about Prince Harry is that he seems to be a man’s man.Also, he wanted to fight in the war in Afghanistan but was pulled back by British military leaders. That did him a tremendous disservice.
Let him fight!
From The Daily News:
Prince Harry started his three-day visit to New York with a bang yesterday at West Point, where the camouflage-clad lieutenant shot target practice with American cadets.
Before heading to Manhattan, Harry, third in line to the British throne, landed at the military academy by helicopter.
He hopped in the back of a Humvee and went straight to the firing range for live-ammo exercises.
The red-headed royal, 25, who has settled down after some youthful hijinks and served in Afghanistan in 2008, fired an M4 rifle alongside cadets at popup, silhouette targets as far as 300 meters away.
"He clearly knows what he's doing," said Col. Casey Haskins, an academy instructor. "He clearly knows how to shoot. He clearly knows how to move."
"He seems like a really down-to-earth guy," said Cadet Kristen Griest of Orange, Conn.
From West Point, Harry traveled down the Hudson to the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
The prince - who said it was "a bit of a 'pinch yourself' moment" to stand on the Intrepid's flight deck - spoke about the long military ties between the U.S. and the UK.
"American and British forces have fought shoulder-to-shoulder for 100 years," he said, adding that the countries should forge stronger links between their veterans.

Good luck with that with Obama as president.
Prince Harry throws out the first pitch at my beloved Citi Field.
He throws a heck of a lot better than Barack Obama.
