Last U.S. Troops Leave Iraq, Ending Bloodiest U.S. War Since Vietnam

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Dec. 17, 2011
In the end, there was no decisive battle, no peace treaty. The United States bloodiest conflict since Vietnam ended with a border crossing.
After nearly nine years, $800 billion, 4,500 American dead and an estimated 100,000 Iraqi dead, the war in Iraq is over -- at least for the U.S. military. At just after 7:30 a.m. local, the last U.S. combat troops crossed from Iraq into Kuwait along the same roads the United States used to invade the country in 2003.
