Prince Harry to do battle in Bosnia

LONDON: Prince Harry has decided to be a frontline soldier in the tough Welsh Guards.
His first Army posting would be leading 30 squadies on a tense peacekeeping mission in war-torn Bosnia.
The 21-year-old prince could be shot at from rival ethnic groups during the six-month NATO mission.
"Harry sees a tough infantry unit as the best way to prove himself. It is about the most dangerous place you can be in the Army," a senior military source was quoted by the Sun, as saying.
But Harry is determined to dump his initial choice for a regiment - the scandal-ridden Household Cavalry.
"I've got hooked on the infantry bug," he recently said. "I do enjoy running down a ditch full of mud, firing bullets," he added.
I knew he was interested in joining the British Amry but did not think he was in yet. Good for him. I wonder does William have any military aspirations as well?
