Summary:
Since the war started in Afghanistan more than 400 British soldiers have been killed. Yesterday this number increased by two. A Royal Marine and a British soldier while on patrol in Afghanistan have been killed. Before the death of this last female only two other British female personnel died since 2001. Sources tell different stories of what could have happened during this attack. An investigation was ongoing. The Ministry of Defense expects to have more information on Thursday. The official report for now says that current operational reports indicate this was an insurgent attack. In witch the Royal Marine and British soldier were killed. The spokesman for Task Force Helmand is very sorry to announce the two deaths and expresses his condolences to their families. Since the operation in Afghanistan started a total of 435 British military personnel have been killed.
Opinion:
I believe it is a pity so many young men and women have to die in a war that is not theirs. I know they are trained to protect not only their own country but also innocent people all over the world. I do think that is a good cause we all need to stand up for those who cannot do that for their own. However I cannot stop and wonder why after 11 years not much has improved over in Afghanistan. The Government there has not been properly build up. The police have nothing to say, rebels still rule and the people of Afghanistan are suppressed. Good soldiers die in a war of which I think cannot be won. Peace must be restored I understand that but I also think that the county is to divided and needs time to start to heal itself without interferences of the West.
