Summary
Another four British soldiers died in the Helmand province in Afghanistan, while working together with the Afghan police. The four soldiers were making their way near Gereshk when their vehicle simply rolled off the road into a canal, submerging under water. The Ministry of Defense has made the assumption the men have died because of drowning. David Cameron’s reaction to the news: "This was a completely tragic case. Obviously we are paying a very high price for what we are doing in Afghanistan.” Another tragedy the MoD reported was that of a Royal Marine commando being killed in a firefight in Sangin; Steven Darbyshire, from Wigan; married father of two.
My Opinion
I think the United Kingdom is indeed paying a high price for what they are doing in Afghanistan. The only news coming out of Afghanistan is news of soldiers being killed. I think neither the United States nor the United Kingdom is accomplishing anything when it comes to warfare in Afghanistan. At least no major changes are being achieved, as far as I know, While the soldiers are fighting in another country, the news their wives and children are getting is of their husbands and fathers dying.
