The Royal Marines were taking part in a routine joint patrol Wednesday with Afghan security forces in the southern Garmsir district of Helmand when their vehicle was struck by an explosive device at 4:47pm (1247 GMT).
Total British deaths 124 in Afghansistan.

OK this might seem mean, but its not if you think about it. 128 people dead since that we been over there, but how many people die on the roads a year. about 4 times the amount of the people that been killed at war.. anyways its still sad about that =[

Don't be so fucking ridiculous. We can't just abandon the Afghanistan effort, just like that. We have got a disproportionate number of troops out there though. The US/other NATO countries need to start pulling their weight.

Hang on a second...I thought the ghan was supported! It's the war on the ACTUAL terrorists! Why the opposition. You guys sound like you need some quality Australian Bushmasters that are far better suited to withstanding IED's than Humvees. Buy some off us!

Gurkhas, Jamaicans, Africans, Irish, etc. and loads of commonwealth join. Yeah, they take a lot of non citizens. Theres a whole Gurkha regiment. They're cool as fuck, theyve won more Victoria crosses than any other regiment, and they flock to join the British Army.

I agree, but it's not humvees thata re the problem, American vehicles are fine now, with the panther etc. It's the British snatch that's a problem, hence SAS officers resigning.
