Why it's only Americans got killed in Iraq?where are the other coalition forces?

Question

It is clear that the other coalition forces in Iraq are not situated in fronts and they are not even involved in any clashes,It seems to be it is not thier buisness,what makes me angry as an American tax payer is that we also spend our money on this bloody war.

Answer 1

This is the personal war of USA led by their President in the name of elimination of nonexistent WMD and killing of Iraqi Leader. Except for UK very few other countries had shown interest in fighting in Iraq. The quantum of loss of men to the so called "coalition forces" is in proportion to their numbers involved. US leaders have never learned the lesson in spite of defeat in Vietnam.

Answer 2

The other forces are in other are's of Iraq. The media is soley focusing on Baghdad. The british, Austrailian, and some other european forces have duties in the other major cities. By far when you look at any other war this is the least bloodiest. This war is also the hardest! Insurgents are not combatents of a nation. they do not where insigna's or wear a uniform of their home country. You people need to think about the other war's we fought! We knew who the enemy was. In Iraq we dont for most part. And how do suggest combatting a suicide bomber? Whats you strategy. And lastly, would you rather the war be fought here on our soil? As an american tax payer you also need to be angered at politicians and citizens milking the system! Through loop holes of their own cheating the govt of our money. You happy illegals are getting free health care? You happy with big business using illegals and undocumented workers to fill their pockets. you happy with politicians that are stalling securing our borders? You happy with people on welfare or getting govt assitance, and dont need it? The liberal media and politicians have dont a real good job NOT reporting the good that is going on in Iraq. Then again GOOD NEWS doesn't sell!

Answer 3

First, soldiers from other forces in the coalition are getting killed, our propagandist media just doesn't report them since they don't serve their purpose of attempting to portray the war as "Bush's war".

But a better question is, "Why don't the media tell us how many of the ENEMY our brave troops are killing?". According to the American leftist media (and Al-Jazerra), all the enemy deaths are innocent civilians. OK, does that mean that our troops (who the lefties are always careful to call "brave, the best trained in the world,"we support the troops but not the war", etc etc), are running around killing the civilians, and can't hit the islamofascists and saddamites who are shooting at them? Or does it mean that the above mentioned terrorists are hiding in civi clothing, behind women and children? When we kill one, they scatter, taking the weapons with them, and then putting a teddybear in its hand and hiring some professional wailer to cry about how her "innocent son" was mowed down by the evil spawn of Bush and Halliburton. How many of them are we sending to allah? I would say, for every one of our heroes who fall in battle, we are exterminating dozens of potential homicide bombers and terrorists.

And quit whining about 3000 of our brave troops who gave their lives in three years of war. Look at history. Any Military leader in the past would have thought such a low figure in a war with an enemy willing to use the tactics our enemy is using would be an impossibly low number. War casualities like that used to be weekly, or even daily, counts. We WILL win this war if the socialist appeasers get out of the way.

Answer 4

The Australian SAS are still there, correct me if i'm wrong but I beleive they where the first Special Forces in ! My neighbours son is there at the moment with 2CAL. Not just our Special Forces but Airbourn 3RAR, Commando 4RAR, Armoured 2nd Cavalry, Various Artillery Regiments such as 8/12 Medium and Support.

The Brits & Aussies are more disciplined to be diplomatic about this ! With a different mentality, arguably more effective due to higher training and small unit combat.

Other coalition members such as France & Italy have refused to place their troops in active zones and will continue to do so! They are the ones standing on the fence or at best on Peace Keeping Mission (Service).

Answer 5

you are miss informed it was not just Americans that were killed. The English were too. There was actually just a big upset where Americans killed a bunch of English by mistake and it was all over the news. The tapes hearing the American soldiers going oh **** when the figured it out. But even before that English soldiers were going down too.

Answer 6

The British lost 100 soldiers. There is about 19,000 allied soldiers in Iraq and most of them are in the most peaceful regions of Iraq. Iraq has 18 providences and the fightig is taking place in 5 of them.

Answer 7

only Americans getting killed?
Tell that to Gordon Gentle's Mum. He was only 19 when he was blown to bits in June 2004. He was Scottish.

Or how about the family of Luke Simpson, 21, from Yorkshire?

Or Lt Jonathan Bracho-Cooke's girlfriend? He was from Sussex and they were supposed to get married in August. He was 24.

What about the 2 children of Sgt Wayne Rees, killed 7th January? His son is only 7 years old.

Want to explain to them how "only Americans" are getting killed.....

There are dozens more......you should apologize, fool

Answer 8

It's not only Americans. How would that even be possible?? In a war, no country is exempt from loss.
You need to watch BBC news, as well as your FOX news. The people who own the American media are the same ones who are pro-war so you are only going to get one-sided information.

Answer 9

The British and Australian troops have had casualties as well. We just don't hear about it because the media doesn't report it.

Answer 10

Some British also got killed there.
