How do we know if we are winning the war in Iraq or not?

Sunday, October 16th, 2011
Socrates asked:


Yes the US military has killed thousands of terrorists/insurgents in Iraq but they’ve indirectly killed thousands (collateral damage) as well. Beside the major Al Qaeda leaders in Iraq, we have no idea how many terrorists our troops have killded so how do we know if we’re winning or losing?

Are American troops in Iraq still protecting their homecountry?

Sunday, October 16th, 2011
Mr Innocent asked:


I can still hear Americans claim that their troops in Iraq are still protecting America, which sounds odd in my ears. Isn’t the war in Iraq already won by the Americans?

How long do each branch actually stay in iraq?

Thursday, October 13th, 2011
mrlillulu asked:


My recruiter told me 6 months for Marines; army goes for at least a year or more. Also said that the Air force usually stay in iraq, leaves, and go back, leaves, comeback and so on. Also said that the Navy stays there for a while since they’re stuck in a ship. Sounds like bull crap?

What kind of cell phone would work in Iraq due to deployment?

Monday, October 10th, 2011
Giovanna asked:


I hear that quadband phones should work. I have a quadband phone from AT&T. I am aware that prices will be higher, though. If I get an international roaming plan with that phone should that work out? Or could I atleast use a sim-card from Iraq? Please respond with helpful information.

What If Iraq Insurgency Grows After United States Leaves?

Friday, October 7th, 2011
KrazyGuy asked:


We are gonna pull out of Iraq at the end of this year. What if Iraq falls back into chaos when we completely pull out? The Shiite majority takes over Iraq and starts killing the Sunni minority. Sunnis and Shiites start killing each other again. More bombings, kidnappings, beheadings, and more IEDs. There will not be any US troops inside of Iraq. If the country starts to fall apart are we gonna go back in and fight again?

How much does it cost to have a package sent from Iraq to the United States?

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011
Philip M asked:


According to the USPS website it is very expensive to send a box of items to a soldier stationed in Iraq unless you use the “One Rate” boxes. However if a solider wants to send a box (Not a USPS box but their own) back is it the same price coming back or is it cheaper because they are military personnel?

I am not asking about prices to send stuff TO Iraq but to send it FROM Iraq.

Thanks for your help. The box is about 24×12x12 and weighs about 50 lbs.
