Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 246 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 213 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. How many this year folks. The death toll in Afghanistan has well passed the total for Iraq, in that military operation and occupation the UK lost 136 of its Armed Forces in combat operations and 43 due to illness, accident or other incidents. One can postulate that the UK by the end, and there will be an end, could have lost close to five hundred of its Armed Forces in Afghanistan, is Afghanistan worth the cost folks.
