What are the casualties of both sides in the Iraq war _ Comparison of casualties between the United States and Iraq in the Iraq war

In March 2003, the United Nations troops led by the United States launched a war against Iraq. American soldiers originally thought that the war would end soon, but they didn't expect it to last for nearly nine years. During this period, both the United States and Iraq suffered heavy losses, especially Iraq, which directly changed from a prosperous country to a turbulent weak country. How many people did both sides lose in this war that decided the fate of Iraq?

The United States is a superpower and ranks first in the world in military strength. In the face of a small country like Iraq, the United States has shown its super strength. It took only 20 days to defeat more than half a million Iraqi troops. Even the Republican Guard, Iraq's proud elite force, went into hiding. Saddam Hussein was hanged, Iraq's dream of being a great power was shattered, and turmoil awaited them.

By February 20 1 165438, when the US troops left Iraq, more than 9,000 people had been lost, of which 4,869 were killed and 4,403 died in accidents. This brought the actual death toll on the battlefield to 5,000, but this exceeded the expectations of Americans. The Iraq war can be regarded as the second Vietnam war. During the Vietnam War, the United States mainly used bombs to deal with Vietnamese guerrillas, and the total amount of bombs invested was more than that of World War II.

However, this practice of the US military has also attracted the hatred of the Vietnamese people. Later, the US military adjusted its way in time, but unfortunately, the anti-war sentiment of the American people became higher and higher, and finally the US military failed. Unfortunately, the American army was suddenly attacked by Iraqis, and you may have been killed by mistake. In the whole Iraq war, the most common bomb is a car bomb, and explosives may still be tied to the garbage buried by the roadside.

The Iraq war should have ended soon, but the US military was caught in the quagmire of the Iraq war. After announcing the total withdrawal, 39,000 American troops remained in Iraq. Perhaps this is because the budget of the US government is insufficient. If so many people are evacuated at once, it is a potential danger to domestic security.

For the United States, Iraq is a lost war. Not only did more than 4,000 people die in Iraq, but it also had a bad impact on the global economy. Lost more than a trillion dollars.

The Iraq war opened the curtain for the United States to change the Middle East by force. With the Iraq war, the United States launched the "axis of evil", the theory of clash of civilizations and the Greater Middle East Plan.

The strategic intention of the United States is very obvious: that is, by attacking Iraq, overthrowing Saddam Hussein, and killing the goose that lays the golden egg in the Middle East, let the Middle East countries know that if they do not automatically obey the control of the United States, they will suffer the same fate as Saddam Hussein. At the same time, the axis of evil was introduced, which clearly regarded Iran and North Korea as the axis of evil, that is, warned them that Saddam Hussein was their destiny.

In order to appease world public opinion and other moderate Arab countries, the United States put forward the theory of clash of civilizations and the Great Middle East Plan, describing the purpose of American hegemonic colonization of the Middle East as transforming a civilized, peaceful, free and democratic Middle East, and describing the conflict between the United States and the Iraqi and Iranian people as a clash of civilizations in order to gain the greatest support of the people in the western world.
