In The Run Up To Christmas This Death In Afghanistan Seems To Have Gone Largely Unnoticed...

He is the 447th member of the UK armed forces to have died there. Will he be the last?

lets hope so,

will his murderer be goaled for ten years?

Not unnoticed, it was discussed on here the other day (will find the thread in a minute).
Maybe it was downplayed a little as the soldier involved was, as far as I can gather involved in a Special Forces operation when he fell.

And no, sadly he won't be the last.

Sadly I don't think it will be the last British life to be wasted in Afghanistan but as somebody who has several nephews and nieces in the Armed Forces I hope it is.
