Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British soldier has died in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 2nd Battalion The Rifles ". Thus as of 16/9/09 the UK has lost 216 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 185 in combat operations and 31 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. This month alone the UK has lost 6 of its Armed Forces Personnel in combat, we need to secure the security of our soldiers, we need more experts on IEDs on the ground, the US is sending out three thousand more soldiers to deal with IEDs, what has the UK done, from the look of it not a lot. The UK needs more boots on the ground, it needs more secure transport from the air to the ground. Lets protect our troops using all of our equipment, why cant we have 24/7 satellite coverage of Afghanistan.
