The War They Don't Want Us To Know About

For years, the United States has been at war in Iraq. And yet, everyday Americans ask themselves: What has changed since Bush sent troops to Iraq? Sure, positive results have come from this war. Saddam is no longer in power and the Iraqi people have been liberated. Yet, do the positives of this war outweigh the negative effects? Surely, if all the details of the war were released, that answer from all Americans would be simply “No.” However, due to the fact that the United States government has done so much to cover up the truths of this war, the American people have no idea what is really happening over in the Middle East. The American people also have no knowledge of the effects of the war in Iraq on the American soldiers and the detrimental outcomes in their daily lives. The American government claims that the presence of American troops in Iraq is essential for the improvement of Iraq. Yet, the effects of the war on Americans troops is never talked about. The government hides horrifying information like this from the American public in hopes of keeping American support for the war. In reality, an extremely large amount of American troops suffer from PTSD after coming home from war. Studies have shown the PTSD is the cause to many abnormal activates. It is well know that many veterans become heavy drinkers and offer find themselves behind bars just months after returning home and yet the government does little to help these soldiers struggling with this disorder. In my eyes, the government is only looking out for themselves and they are doing little to help the people who deserve it most: the American soldiers. So in reality, teh government is hiding the internal war that soldiers must endure within themselves after returning home from war.
