Royal Marine is 300th British death in Afghanistan

Summary

On June 12th, the 300th British casualty in Afghanistan has occurred. Because the family of the British soldier would like to keep his name unknown, the name has not yet been published. What is released is that the soldier got injured by an explosion while patrolling in the Sangin district of Helmand. He makes number 15 in the amount of soldiers dying in the province in the last month. The US and the UK are having some kind of an argument over the amount of soldiers lost in Afghanistan; both the US as the UK say they have lost more men.

My opinion

This article is more about the amount of deaths in war of the United Kingdom against the amount of deaths in war of the United States. I know that when two heads of countries can not get allong and one starts to threat the other they obviously have to go to war, but when is this all going to stop? When two countries who are on the same side go and whine about who has the most deaths, I think we can all agree that the world is coming to an end! No, but why go to war AND wine about who has more deaths? Just form a good coallision and take those !@#$ out!
