yes, the number of UK soldiers that has been killed in Afghanistan is pretty small, less than the average cyclist death in the UK.
I'm not really shocked by this comparison TBH, it just it's even more unnecessary for the cyclists who die an avoidable death than the solider who were trained to fight and prepared to die.
