Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the soldier was a " Marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines serving as part of Combined Forces Sangin, Helmand ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 285 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 251 in combat operations and 34 due to illness, accidents or other incidents. Let hope the the new UK Government has a look at the UK strategy in Afghanistan, the new Government should ask the MOD to produce new strategy that decrees the level of UK attrition of forces, the UK Army can not take this level of loss through the year.
