Prince Harry in Afghanistan

There seems to a lot of support for Harry's service in Afghanistan - based on what I've seen on media - although on TV there were a couple of guys from South Asia based in the UK saying they don't support. Wonder why - was it because he was fighting in Afghanistan or because they didn't like the idea of putting the life of the 3rd in line to the throne in danger ?! The New York times has a very complimentary article.
