Blood was spilled. Soldiers and civilians died. Families mourn, grieve, and continually suffer with those who’ve “survived” – on both sides. And despite how proud we are of our personal views and ideologies, may we never forget that it’s real live human beings who make up these “statistics.”
Here’s the unofficial numbers of the Iraq war…
- Days lasted: 3,193
- U.S soldiers killed: 4,487
- U.S soldiers wounded: 32,226
- Iraqis killed: 103,775+
- Cost of War: $800B+ (aside from billions spent in Afghanistan)
SO WHO WON THE WAR??? Ultimately, it was won by the bankers, mercenaries, arms-dealers and everyone who profited off the oil. It was won by Russia and China who supplied weapons, technology and intelligence to the biggest winner of all…Iran! #SMH
