Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports on the death of another three UK Soldiers. The total of those killed in Combat is now 128. Those that have died in either accident or illness or other incidents is 29. In total the death toll is now 157. The death toll is reaching Iraqi levels, and we will be in Afghanistan for years. One simple question what is the EXIT route out of Afghanistan, are our Forces getting the best equipment, from some of the news stories one gets the impression that we are back in World War One, Trench Warfare, lack of efficient kit. Lets support our Armed Forces by getting them out, but if they have to be there, lets make sure they have the best kit, we should not lose people because of a few pounds. If MP's can get money for their Second Houses, when they are supposed to live in No 11 Downing Street, then the UK Government can spend money on decent kit for our Armed Forces Personnel.
