Saddam Hussein led Iraqi soldiers to attack Kuwait, and the US military sent troops to aid Kuwait. During this time, Saddam's men captured a group of American female soldiers.
During the war, as prisoners, many female soldiers were subjected to inhuman abuse. The female soldiers' return to the United States reveals the days of their captivity. What exactly happened to them?
Saddam Hussein led the Iraqi people on the road to prosperity, exploited oil resources, and became a sought-after country. But when he became rich, Saddam pushed his people into the abyss of war.
Saddam, who was decisive in killing Hussein, repeatedly provoked wars, and even sent troops to Kuwait when his national strength had not yet been restored. Let the people and soldiers go back to war without much respite.
Years of war saddled Iraq with high debts, and in order to restore the country's economy, it was Saddam Hussein's attempt to complete his expansionist attempts, who insisted on capturing Kuwait despite international opposition.
Kuwait's armed forces were less than one-tenth of Iraq's, so within a few days Kuwait had completely fallen and been completely occupied by Iraq. Not surprisingly, Iraq's arrogance caused extreme dissatisfaction in the United States.
Under the pretext of defending world peace, the United States led United Nations forces to launch a war against Iraq. In this battle, there is no suspense that the United States will win. Kuwait was occupied by Iraq for more than a dozen days before it was surrendered again. This has undoubtedly aggravated Iraq's economic crisis again.
During this period, the United States sent many female soldiers to participate in the war as logistics units. They are not on the front lines and are generally safe. But Iraq captured several American female soldiers.
When the two countries went to war, the treatment of prisoners was generally very cruel. And Saddam Hussein was notorious, and everyone thought that this group of female soldiers must be uncomfortable in prison.
But according to Melissa, a captured female soldier, she had no intention of appearing on the march when the Iraqi army was preparing to attack the American army. After her arrest, the Iraqi army placed her under house arrest in a small room and ate three meals a day. Although he did not treat him with courtesy, he did not encounter severe beatings or other injuries.
This remark really caused great controversy in the international community. Everyone thought that this female soldier was lying, but several female soldiers said this, which shows that Saddam Hussein was indeed very kind to this group of prisoners.
Some people say that Saddam Hussein knew that he was powerless against the US military, so he hoped to treat the prisoners of war better so that he could negotiate terms with the United States after the war.
Others say that Saddam Hussein started the war for his own country, and he was not a ruthless person.
When Iraq was captured, the US military found a large amount of gold jewelry in Saddam's palace, which shows that his government has amassed countless wealth, but the ordinary people of Li have been fleeing war for many years. This matter really deserves Saddam's reflection.
