Article Source: BBC NewsThe number of British military personnel killed on operations in Afghanistan since 2001 stands at 265 after a soldier from A Company, 4th Battalion The Rifles, was shot near Sangin, Helmand province, on 25 February.
Of all those killed, 33 have died from accidents, illness, or non-combat injuries. Others have yet to be assigned a cause of death. Details of fatalities are in the table below.
Most of these soldiers are so young like 18 or 19 years old. They are kids! How can the UK government send such young and inexperienced boys out to a hostile territory to fight hardcore terrorists. Really sad.
