Hard to believe this is the same nation that sent men into the meat grinder at Passendale, the Somme, El Alamen, around Caen and so many other places.

Now they hyperventilate about what is, from a strictly military stand point, an insignificant casualty rate like this?

Why do they even HAVE a military anymore then?

I don’t think the British military and the British people can be blemd for the statistical research of a newspaper. These casualty rates are higher that those of the US in Vietnam (1 in 46) and the British in Korea. Of course, thopse conflicts used far greater logistics trails.

Britain is also losing more troops proportionally in Iraq than the US.
