Prince Harry, home from his abandoned military mission to Afghanistan, said he hopes to return to combat zones as soon as possible.
Harry returned to England on Saturday after serving for 10 weeks as a soldier in Afghanistan. His secret tour of duty, due to last until April, was abruptly aborted after a magazine and websites disclosed details of his whereabouts. The prince's mission had previously gone unreported as part of an agreement, designed to protect the 23-year-old prince and his fellow soldiers, between the Ministry of Defense and major news
organizations.
"'Angry' would be the wrong word to use but I am slightly disappointed. I thought I could see it through to the end and come back with our guys," Harry said after landing at an air force base where he was met by his father, Prince Charles, and brother, Prince William.
Harry said he hoped to return to Afghanistan soon and has already asked his commanding officer to approve a new mission. "I would love to go back out, and I've already mentioned it to him that I want to go out very, very soon," he said.
