Aksidentale në Ditën e Pavarësisë: vritet një ushtar amerikan në Kosovë

A U.S. Army paratrooper from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division, based in nearby Fort Bragg, waves good-bye as the troops board a plane to deploy to Kuwait, from Fayetteville, North Carolina in this February 13, 2003 file photograph. It's not uncommon in Fayetteville to hear of soldiers who have served multiple year-long tours of duty, returning again and again to guerilla-style wars with no clearly defined front lines. Some 5,000 troops from Fort Bragg are still fighting and dying in Afghanistan, even though that war long ago slipped off the front pages of U.S. newspapers. With one war over and another winding down, more soldiers are back in Fayetteville now than during the height of the deployments between 2008 and 2011. Still, President Obama has already sent 1,600 Special Operations commandos back to Iraq. Americans are flying helicopter missions ("boots in the air") and military leaders have hinted that the conflict could soon require more boots on the ground.
