US Troops



President Bush declared war against Afghanistan right after September 11. The title of this war was “ War on Terror”. Millions of American troops went to fight this war. A lot of them got killed by cross fires. A lot of Afghanistan innocent civilians also got killed because of this horrific war. Based on an Article, It was heard on January 9th, 2008 that there were 26,000 Us troops are currently in Afghanistan and that they were sending another 3,000 troops for back up. Iraq war was even worse. The Us confirmed that 4077 were reported deaths and 4076 were confirmed death. A lot of soldiers died leaving their families. They left back their young kids, parents, wife and went to fight for their country. Most of them never looked back. There were also many injuries. Armies had their legs blown off, injured their soldiers, got shot etc. Based on an Article, A 40 year old veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan war lost his eye sight during the war. There is always a very possible chance of eye and brain injuries due to road side bombs, mortars, grenades which were most commonly used against The Us Troops.
