Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that another British Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the Soldier was a " Royal Marine from 40 Commando Royal Marines, serving as part of Combined Forces Sangin ". Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 286 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 252 in combat operations and 34 due to illness, accidents and other incidents. It was reported on Friday that UK Forces would be under US command, is that a good idea, don't fancy our brave soldiers being cannon fodder for the US military.
