Interesting Picture

I happened to see this picture on a news article today:

It’s obviously a picture of a soldier, and the dusty American flag hat might make one think this is a United States solider (although if you know military emblems, you’d know the Eagle with the sword on it is not American).

No, this isn’t an American at all. It’s Prince Harry from England.

I wonder what Thomas Jefferson would have thought if he found out that the son of the Queen of England would one day be fighting in Afghanistan alongside American troops, and that he would put on a cap with the flag of America on it. I actually don’t think this would have surprised the Founding Father’s too much, given the nature of America and the fact that political freedom is ultimately contagious. So perhaps instead I should wonder what King George III would have thought…
