BBC News: Reports on the latest soldiers to die in Afghanistan. The News wires state that the soldiers came from the " 2nd Battalion the Royal Welsh and the 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers " Thus in total the UK has lost 170 of its Armed Forces Personnel in combat and 31 due to accidents, illness or other incidents. In total since 2001 the UK has lost 201 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, and it has been stated we will be in Afghanistan for another 40 years. That is not going to happen with this level of attrition for soldiers, we no longer conscript. In August alone we have now lost 10 soldiers, how much more by the end of the month.
