Question 9 • LHS Oklahoma History

Which of the following statements about the war in Afghanistan is false?

Answer
A
The initial attack was led by Tommy Franks.
B
The war is difficult due to heavy combat in mountainous terrain.
C
The war has increased focus on religious fundamentalism.
D
All US troops were pulled out of Afghanistan in May 2011.

Explanation

The false statement is “All US troops were pulled out of Afghanistan in May 2011.” The United States continued its military presence and operations in Afghanistan after May 2011; that month did not mark a complete troop withdrawal. The other statements describe the initial US-led campaign, the challenges of fighting in mountainous terrain, and increased attention to religious fundamentalism.
