US Soldiers killed in Afghanistan!!


This attack was taking place in the Nuristan province, which was on the border

with Pakistan.Although the Americans fought back diligently the battled still

managed to continue and lasted into the afternoon, Col. Wayne Shanks. This

knowledge was not euphonius to the Americans at all when they heard of it. The

people of Afghanistan were not insouciant this time around therefore resulting in

the death of 8 American soldiers.
This theme is Imperialism. I say this because the United States is a

stronger, larger country attempting to dominate a weaker, smaller country which is

Afghanistan. The US and Afghanistan are at war and according to this article the US

has just lost 8 soldiers.Imperialisim is also portrayed as a policy of

extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. The

US has its reasons for trying to imperialize Afghanistan.
A historical event that relates to this would be World War II when Hitler

tried to imperialized European countries. Although he managed to do most of what he

wanted he still had a price to pay. Just like the Americans lost 8 soldiers he lost

his soldiers too. America has lost more then 8 soldiers, this article only speaks of

8 soldiers being lost. In World War II Hitler lost a lot more then 8 or even 8,00

soldiers.
