Question

I enlisted in the US Marine Corps following the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001. In 2003, I was deployed to Southwest Asia to fight a war in the country where my father, a retired US Army Sergeant, had previously fought a little more than a decade before. The same dictator my father fought against was still in power at the time of my deployment.
Based on the information in the text and your knowledge of social studies, in which conflict involving the United States did the speaker fight?
A.
the Persian Gulf War

B.
the Afghanistan War

C.
the Vietnam War

D.
the Iraq War

Answer 1

Based on the information provided, the speaker fought in the **Iraq War** (D). The speaker mentions being deployed to Southwest Asia in 2003, which aligns with the start of the Iraq War, and refers to a dictator that their father fought against, which likely points to Saddam Hussein, who was in power during both conflicts.
