Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British soldier has died in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, operating with The Light Dragoons Battle Group " Thus the UK has lost 211 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that number it has lost 180 in combat operations and another 31 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. One has to ask has it been worth it, there is a need for more troops on the ground, more helicopters and more kit for our troops, and so far they UK PM Gordon Brown is wanting a War on the cheap. New Labour will bail out our banks but will not support our Armed Forces, so our Armed Forces Personnel are heroes while they are being let down at home. Is Afghanistan worth the death toll ?, NO folks, Afghanistan is not Poland as in origins of World War Two. If the UK Government will not support our Armed Forces we should get out of Afghanistan, its Obama's War, we should offer military support to Pakistan, the SAS and the SBS should be offered for action on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, combat flights, but our other troops should be bought home.
