Part of channel(s): Afghanistan (current event)http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/defence/9308582/A-soldiers-soldier-Cpl-Michael-Thacker-killed-in-Afghanistan.html
The serviceman, from 1st Battalion, The Royal Welsh, was manning an
observation post in the Nahr-e Saraj District of Helmand Province when his
patrol came under attack from small arms fire, the ministry of Defence said.
He received immediate medical attention and was evacuated from the scene by
helicopter but died of his injuries.
The 27-year-old father-of-one - who was born in Swindon, Wiltshire and had
served in Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan - was described as a "soldier's
soldier" and "natural leader" by his comrades.
Cpl Thacker's wife Catherine said: "Michael was the love of my life. He
was an amazing husband and father who will always be remembered as a funny,
loving and kind man.
"Everyone who met Mike instantly liked him and through time came to love
him."

R.I.P but a waste of another good life in a lost war
after we leave the country will go back to the
Taliban just like it did after Russia left
and a full civil war the tribes and the drug lords
will just carry on killing each other like we were
never there

RIP, a tragic waste. The war is lost. Occupations of Afghanistan were always about regional leverage, and they've always failed. A Taliban commander today is a provincial governor 'tomorrow', and that is fact.

@Ali665 An acceptable loss when we send 100 dirty Islamic scum to their graves for every 1 of ours.
It's just a shame we have to sacrifice REAL human life to get rid of the roaches.

@Zombiespit
You see Ali665's attitude? This is why it is so tragic each time our nations lose one of our great men, they don't appreciate, they have no fucking value on life and they just want want want. Our men are losing their lives honourably trying to make their shit hole existance better for their kids and the likes of this dickhead don't give a shit.
