The article talks about a U.S. and french army force who where atacked by a bombing on October 23, 1983, the bombing was reported as a suicide bombing, wich means that people drove a vehicle close to the army base and blew themselfs up.. The injure toll was of 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 navy personnel and three army soldiers. Sixty Americans were injured. In the article it mentions it was the biggest toll on american lives in war since world war II.. making it an impressive and horrible ocurance for the united states.
The U.S. President Ronald reagan called this a horrible act of coldness to marines and american lifes that were just stationed there and were performing no duty that was in any way harming this "force" that atacked the buildings... I think this article shows a lot about humans, the way we can act, and the way we respond to such a sudden change of game plan...
