bwahaha...Drudge Report credited for having Prince Harry removed from Afgan war
Prince Harry,<2> is the younger son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and grandson of Queen Elizabeth II. As such, he is third in the line of succession to the thrones of 16 independent states, though he is resident in and most directly involved with the United Kingdom, the oldest realm.

After an education at various schools around the United Kingdom and spending parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho, Harry, unlike his elder brother, Prince William, eschewed a university education in favour of following in the footsteps of various royal men by enrolling in the military. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the Blues and Royals of the Household Cavalry Regiment – serving temporarily with his brother – and completed his training as a tank commander. He served for 77 days on the front line in the Afghan War,<3>


although he was pulled out after an American news aggregation website, The Drudge Report, revealed his presence.<4>

1. I read that as 'American news aggravation website'

which I believe is technically correct. 'Nuisance' works too.

2. "Sludge Report" and "credited" words don't go together.
Although, whassisname SLUDGE has always had a thing for the Royal little dudes.
