15 I had a little bird, Its name was Enza. I opened the window, And in-flu-enza. What was the Spanish Flu?Spanish Flu Virus (influenza) that killed between 20-40 million people worldwide (1918-1919)) –675 thousand Americans most devastating epidemic in recorded world history Symptoms began like a cold Infected 20% of world population 28% of Americans Highest fatality between ages 20- 30 –4 women playing bridge together one night and next morning 3 were dead

18 Was it worth it? Remember the original goals Number of goals achieved v. Casualties Do the goals outweigh the costs?

19 Casualties in any amount affect the people of a country and often are the reasons for a war’s end. As an American, how does this make you feel? Combat in Afghanistan

20 Wars often spark other effects beyond the soldiers fighting on the battle field: List some possible effects of the Iraqi War: Civil War Stable Democratically elected government Skyrocketing Debt (figures from 2006) –$300 billion for the war –Over $9 Trillion total Oil Rich ally Spread of Democracy Spread of Terrorism Embolden terrorist states (Iran/North Korea)

21 Other Costs Iraqi Civilian CountEstimated between 100-600 thousand deaths

22 Is it worth it?

23 The fog of war can cloud a normally clear mind. If you have learned nothing else from this lesson, I hope that you appreciate the far reaching effects of ‘going to war.’ Thousands/millions of lives are affected by the decision to go to war. Bad and good people die. Hopefully the leaders that we have/will elect(ed) appreciate this. But remember that freedom isn’t free. At this very moment, hundreds of thousands of young Americans are risking their lives so that we can have this conversation.
