MOD: Reports on the death of another three British soldiers in Afghanistan this morning, the soldiers came from " two from The 2nd Battalion The Rifles and a third from 40 Regiment Royal Artillery " Thus in combat operations the UK has lost 168 of its Armed Forces Personnel and another 31 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 199 of its Armed Forces Personnel. As of the above deaths the UK has lost eight soldiers this month, in July the UK lost 22. In the lead up to the Presidential Election in Afghanistan the UK should expect to lose more of its Armed Forces Personnel, we have lost to much to walk away now, thus we need more troops in theatre and more and better transport for air to land so we don't lose troops due to IEDs.
