It has left a deep grudge and anger, both inside the government and among the Iraqi people."[31]
"For me, it's very upsetting," he said, "I watch what's happening there. My first six months, it was very intense fighting in Baghdad, but then there was prosperity and good news. And to see that now on the verge of collapse, and knowing I lost five soldiers, it's very hard. These kids may have died in vain."Nearly 4,800 U.S. and coalition military personnel were killed in Iraq and more than 32,000 were wounded.
