Deaths in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that two British Soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, one soldier was from the " 4th Battalion The Rifles " and the other soldier was from the " The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment attached to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. " In total the UK has lost 178 Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, the break down is as follows, of that 178, 147 have died in combat, while 31 have died of illness, accidents or other incidents. This is the ninth death is nine days, at what point does this level of attrition of our troops become a military problem. The UK will be in Afghanistan for years, how many more good men and women will be lost in War we cant win. That simple and brutal folks.
