    > a departure celebrated as a victory by Iran and its allies who now have deep influence in the country where 4,500 Americans died during more than two decades of war.

    Kind of crazy to lead with this. Talking about the Americans victims (mostly military) and ignoring the local Iraqi victims (mostly civilians).

      It’s an article about us forces leaving Irak seems reasonable to talk about how many they lost during the time they were there…

        It would be inappropriate to talk about how many women and children they dismembered in their eulogy
