Proof that it's all over ? 16 Years, 8 Months ago  
A British soldier died a day after paying tribute to one of his men, also killed in Afghanistan.

Captain David Hicks and Private Tony Rawson were colleagues in the C (Essex) Company, 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment.

Pte Rawson was shot on 10 August shortly before 0600 hours local time and Capt Hicks was fatally wounded in an attack at 1320 on 11 August.

It's not quite that horrific, ITK. They have a 1 in 36 chance of being killed, not surviving, in Afghanistan, and a 1 in 50 chance in Iraq.

It's still totally unacceptable and public opinion seems to be coming to its senses more and more.
