How many soldiers are involved in the Iraq war?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

None at the present time. US has withdrawn its troops.

At the height of hostilities there were close to 175,000 US troops in Iraq, during the surge of 2007. The number of Iraqi troops is unknown, but estimated to have been between half and three quarters of a million. Probably most of them were involved in the defense of Iraq.

What are the similarities between World War 2 and the war on terror?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In both cases, airplanes were used by foreigners to attack vital points in the United States, resulting in the deaths of many people, Americans and other nationalities. One important distinction must be made, however. In the case of Pearl Harbor, a recognized world power, Japan did the attack. This caused the US to enter World War 11. At the World Trade Center, hijacked American commercial airliners were used to smash into two large office buildings in New York City. No nation took responsibility for the WTC tragedy.

How are the cold war and the war in Iraq similar?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the actual Cold War, America and the USSR never actually confronted each other militarily. In the Iraq war, some Mid East experts suggest, this became a battleground for two dominant powers in the region: Iran and Saudi Arabia.

While Iran funded Shia insurgents, the Saudis funded al Qaeda.

Who would win in Iraq vs Iran?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Answer 1

I See Iraq wins

Answer 2

The Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988 seems to show that even when Iran is just recovering from an internal revolution and reorganization and Iraq is being supported by half of the West's biggest players the two countries can reach a general stalemate. However, that stalemate was when Iran was in a weaker position than it is today and when Iraq was in a much stronger position than it is today. Without a doubt, as of early 2012, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard would be able to summarily defeat the Iraqi Army.

Is there an official US Military list of Purple Heart recipients?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, there is not. The Purple Heart is one of the most common awards and has been received by over 800,000 individuals.

No, at least not from the Vietnam era or prior.

This answer is inaccurate and does a poor job answering the question. The purple heart is one of the more uncommon awards in the military. There has been hundreds of millions of service members since the creation of the award. The number of Purple hearts awarded is estimated to be closer to 1.6 million. Purple heart recipients make up less then 1 percent of all service members to ever serve. There is no complete list but the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor has a list of over 70,000 recipient's.

How many military soldiers die per a minute?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not enough to use a Day to measure. in 6 years it been about 4000 Us. So i mean at the most that an average of what .5 a day??? which doesnt mean you count as 1 every other day. Remeber troops are killed at a steady rate or something.... i think the highest In one day was a bombing that added up to 25 total.

the average is about 30 or 35 a month. this month (July) so far is fortunately only 3 and we are already 1/4 of the way through. The most in 2008 so far was 52 in April and the lower aside from this month was may. Last year was our worst year so far with over 900 deaths. it is getting alot better already though. The year is more than halfway over and we are only at 211!!!! although its horrible misfortune that these troops have passed away it is a vast improvement so far and the deathtoll this year could possible be better than that of 2003. which was less that 500.

Support our troops and give this as much appreciation and respect you can

Why did the coalition of US led forces invade Iraq in the first place?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The US argued that it believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction that they were not letting UN inspectors view. To prevent Iraq from using those weapons, an invasion was necessary.

Whether or not that was the actual reason for the invasion is subject to controversy.

Is there a possible ww3 on the way?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes, our government tells us no, but it is obvious. Russia has benn expanding its army for years. Since the cold war their army has risen from three million soldiers to six million. And they continue to threaten countries like Estonia and Georgia. And because of Americas and the European Unions alliance with them, if Russia ever attacked Georgia they would come to their aid and declare war on Russia.

How many members of Congress voted to go to war with Iraq?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That's a trick question. The answer has to be zero, because there was never a Declaration of War put forth to vote on, in order for Congress to vote to go to war with Iraq.

Congress only voted on the idea. The United Nations said it was authorized to allow that action. By what authority, I have no idea.

There is no war in Iraq, we the United States with the deceptive practices of our so-called leaders invaded Iraq. Big difference between a war and an invasion.

War requires a Declaration of War voted and passed by Congress with 2/3 the majority.

If this is a war, please by all means show me the signed Declaration of War passed by the members of Congress. Otherwise, we invaded a country under the premise of lies.

Impeachment of the Bush Administration would be a good start to some house cleaning.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIke all political nincompoops, the above responder refuses to deal in facts. The overall vote from a combination of house and senate was an overwhelming 373-156, to allow Bush to take military action (regardless of whether or not it was a formal declaration of war) against Iraq.

Did the us drop a major bomb on iraq?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Major bomb" is not a technical term for any explosive device, so it is impossible to determine what the proper answer is.

The United States, however, used NONE of the following types of bombs during the War in Iraq: napalm bombs, cluster bombs, firebombs, chemical weapons, biological weapons, or nuclear weapons. By contrast, the US used targeted aerial bombs, tomahawk missiles with conventional warheads, shrapnel grenades, and numerous other types of explosive devices.

What are three reasons the Iran-Iraq War ended?

Asked by Wiki User

There aren't three reasons why it ended. There is really only one. The United Nations proposed and re-proposed and re-proposed a ceasefire. After eight years of fighting, both sides were exhausted and decided to accept a United Nations negotiated armistice.

What methods does Al-Qaeda use?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Al-Qaeda have many methods they use to try and get their point across, including hijacking, bombing and suicide bombing. These methods are very effective (take a look at 9/11) so they will probably keep using them for the near future.
