Prince William's bachelor brother Prince Harry is about to put himself in harm's way - again.

The Telegraph of London reports that Harry, who in April was promoted to captain in the British Army Air Corps, will be deployed next year - most likely back to Afghanistan. (His unit has been scheduled to fly there in 2012.)

Harry's first tour in the war on terror was cut short in '08, when news reports compromised his position. He was bummed about his return from Helmand, saying "I severely hope" to be deployed again. "You know money's been spent toward your training - God knows how much money's been spent on us."

The prince will first complete Apache helicopter pilot training. He will fly a $65 mil AH-64 attack helicopter in operations against insurgents, the Telegraph says.
