White House hopeful John McCain praises Prince Harry over AfghanistanUS presidential hopeful John McCain has hailed Prince Harry’s military action in Afghanistan an “inspiration”.
The Republican senator told reporters he was proud of Harry for going on the front line against the Taliban.
His own son has just returned from a tour of Iraq with the US Marine Corps.
The 71-year-old said both Harry and his brother Prince William were “role models”, The Sun reported.
He said: “I regret that Harry’s service was short-circuited by the unnecessary publication of his presence in Afghanistan.
“His willingness and his eagerness to serve provides an inspiration to other young men and women to serve the cause of freedom in Afghanistan.
“All of us Americans and British are proud of him. I respect and admire the Royal Family and I think those two young Princes are very good role models.”
