Default French soldier dies in Mali fighting

I know the French haven't lost anywhere near the number of personnel the US or Britain has in recent military operations abroad but this is their third since going into Mali almost alone...and three too many.

~SALUTE~

A French soldier has been killed fighting Islamist militants in northern Mali, the French government says.
He is the third French serviceman to die since the start of military intervention in January.
The paratrooper was killed on Saturday "assaulting an enemy position" in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains.
