Soleimani’s IEDs killed more than 600 American soldiers, wounded many more
Many people heard the name Qasem Soleimani for the first time last week when the Iranian general was killed by U.S. forces.
Soldiers who have come through Fort Benning have known Soleimani’s name for nearly two decades.
And they have known of his evil deeds in the Middle East.
Soleimani was the man behind a more deadly Improvised Explosive Devices that ran up the American casualty count beginning in 2003.
There are 6,989 names on the wall of the Global War on Terror Memorial at the National Infantry Museum. Soleimani’s work is responsible for more than 600 of those deaths, according to a 2018 U.S. Department of Defense study.
Another 1,600 soldiers who were maimed or injured from the devices.
