A marine of 40 Commando Royal Marines was killed in a fight with insurgents in the Helmand province. He died of the enemy's small arm fire. The marine is the third to die in a week from the same formation. Task Force Helmand's spokesman Lieutenant Col James Carr-Smith said he died a marine: Among his mates in the line of duty. He said that the marine will be sorely missed and that they will remember him and his actions. He is #302 of British fatal casualties in the Afghan war since the war began in 2001.
I deeply respect all the forces who are fighting for the freedom of our own and countries. When I read such tragic news it immediately absorbs my attention. I feel both helpless and bad about the fact that he died while working on a better world. There are many people that think the Western forces should retreat from the Middle East. I think this is a highly dangerous thing to do while the Taliban is still active. Dangerous for the countries suffering from the Taliban and the Western countries as well. Retreating means total control for the Taliban in these countries and the ability to make themselves stronger. As for the marine: may he rest in peace.

Indeed we should honour those fighting for our freedom. Being a Marine is definately something. They are the ones fighting for our freedom and we should respect their way of living.
