Wise move, imo.

1. If I was Harry I would take a flight to Miami and beat the shit out of Drudge
for blowing my cover and screwing up my deployment.

2. Yes, that's a smart move
I don't think he should receive special treatment, but let's be realistic, he's a MUCH bigger target than the average soldier which paints bigger targets on the backs of the other men in his outfit.

3. His transfer would probably be appreciated by his squad
Everyone anywhere near him is in more-than-usual danger. Just having him in the unit would paint targets on all.

Every Talibanista in the area would be strapping on explosives, for a chance to kill a royal.

4. It would take up a parking spot.

Good grief

I guess exposing the young Republicans cowardice for not going is just too much
