Matt Drudge Should Be Sent to Afghanistan

Do Prince Harry and his soldiers deserve the potentially deadly outing they received by one of the world's biggest (insert your own colorful expletive here), Matt Drudge? Is anyone else outraged that, once again, in the name of the "public right to know," Britain's Prince Harry will be lucky to get out of Afghanistan in one piece?

A line has been crossed in society when one person's narcissism is allowed to trump another's safety. So, here's what the penalty should be...

Matt Drudge should be picked up in a Humvee by special forces soldiers at his home, given a canteen, some MRE's and a rifle and dispatched via a HALO drop into southern Afghanistan. He should be photographed every moment as he wanders the countryside in fear of his life and his GPS coordinates should be posted to an internet site to show his position every sixty seconds.

Matt, pack your bags.
