Death in Afghanistan - Afghanistan Theatre

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier was killed today in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the " Royal Engineers ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 447 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total 404 have died in combat/hostile action, while 43 have died of illness, accidents or other incidents. 

Lets Get Real: 

As the UK is leaving Afghanistan next year why are still losing our Armed Forces Personnel in combat operations, what is the point, the MOD and 10 Downing Street should get our Forces home, lets be honest here, once the West is out of Afghanistan the place will go to hell, the Taliban will be at the gates of the Capital within six months, what can we say to the families that have lost loved ones there, that is was worth it, the place is not worth the blood of one Soldier, its a hell hole and the Afghans are welcomed to it, our brave and heroic Forces should have better leaders.  Our thoughts are with those still serving in Afghanistan and to the families who have lost loved ones in Afghanistan.
