Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British soldier has died today in Afghanistan, the soldier was from the " 36 Engineer Regiment ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 261 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 228 in combat operations and 33 due to illness, accidents and other incidents. As stated many times there is no victory in Afghanistan, just how much pain the UK has to take in the loss of its Armed Forces Personnel and the money spent in the bloody place. At the end of the day Afghanistan can be a democracy or a dictatorship, this blog does not care, as long as it keeps the terrorists out and makes sure Afghanistan can not be used by Al Qaeda as a base. One can see a time when Afghanistan is seen as Korea, the forgotten War that no one really wants to talk about, its War that cant be won, just kept at a low point of violence, one has to ask are the deaths worth this kind of result, a long time after Afghanistan has gone from the news the families of the dead will have to live with the consequences of a War that can never have the glory that was the Falklands.
