Iwo Jima & Fallujah

Posted by Elisha at 07:03

The United States attack Fallujah on month following the 2003 invasion of Iraq. It was led by United States Marine Corps against Iraqi insurgency in the city of Fallujah.
The battle of Iwo Jima was a battle in which the United States fought for and captured Iwo Jima from Japan. The picture, that raising of the U.S. flag on top of mountain by five Marines and one Navy corpsman, become iconic image of the battle.
Fallujah and Iwo Jima both are Marine battle and it had heavy casualties.
The Fallujah video is describe enemy of soldiers, high-tech weapon and America forces step in to reclaim the city for Iraqi people. It said that along with the marines, the army is placed in crucial role in the invasion.
Korea is related with Fallujah. Fallujah was outbreak after Iraq war and Korean troops were sending to Iraq. At that time Kim Sun-ill, who was a translator and Christian missionary was kidnapped. Iraq demands cancel its plans to send 3000 more troops to Iraq and withdraw military and engineers already there. However Korea refused to meet their demands and Kim Sun-ill was beheaded. So through this case, people make organization and have demonstrate about send troops. Public opinion has been sharply divided over the troop dispatch but government was kept fighting.
I think making peaceful world by eradicating the war completely and immediately is hard but it shouldn’t make the human loss involved in a war through only for national interest and political economic. The war only can mark by severe human right violations and caused widespread destruction and humanitarian crisis.
