- The war on terrorism has been protecting America, and Americans, from attack for two decades. However, the war on terrorism did not just have a positive effect. The war also caused death and disability, psychological damage, environmental destruction, disruption of the health infrastructure, refugee crises, and increased interpersonal and self-directed violence.
- It also greatly affected the economy, by creating xenophobia (dislike people from a different country), loss of tourism, and increased insurance claims. On May 2, 2011, Osama bin Laden is killed by U.S. special operations forces. On December 28th, 2014, the war in Afghanistan ended.
- At least 929,000 civilian people have been killed by direct war violence in Afghanistan during the war on terrorism. As a result of the war, there were 4,431 total U.S. soldier deaths. The environmental repercussions of war and terrorism are extreme, including bomb damage, depleted forests and wildlife, cemeteries, museums, and memorials.
- An alternate ending to the war on terrorism could have been much worse. Although the war on terrorism ended with many devastating outcomes such as many civilian soldier deaths and destruction of property, things could have had a more tragic outcome. Instead of the war in Afghanistan ending in favor of America, it could have continued for much longer or ended with the terrorists being the victors of the war on terrorism.
- This could lead to much bigger issues for the U.S. A longer war means more deaths, more property destruction, more attacks, and more of the economy's money being spent on machines supplies. Terrorists winning the battles could mean much more violent and deadly attacks on the U.S. and possibly other areas, harming many innocent people.
