In his many careers as a printer, moralist, essayist, civic leader, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, and philosopher, Benjamin Franklin Became both a spokesman and a model for the national character of later generations of Americans. After less than two years of formal schooling, Franklin was pressed into his father's trade. At the age of 16, Franklin wrote some pieces in a courant, "Silence Dogwood." Though penniless and unknown, Franklin soon found a job as a printer. After a year he went to England, where he became a master printer, sowed some wild oats, astonished Londoners with his swimming feats, and lived among the famous writers of London. In 17227, Franklin began his career as a civic leader by organizing a club of aspiring tradesmen called the Junto, which met each week for discussion and planning. Franklin began yet another career when in 1740 he invented the Pennsylvania fireplace, later called the Franklin stove, which soon heated buildings all over Europe and North America. He also read treaties on electricity and and began a series of experiments with his friends in Philadelphia. Experiments he proposed, first tried in France in 1752, showed that lightning was in fact a form of electricity. Later that year his famous kite experiment, in which he flew a kite with the wire attached to a key during a thunderstorm. His later achievements included formulating a theory of heat absorption, measuring Gulf Stream, designing ships, tracking storm paths, and inventing bifocal lenses. In 1751, Franklin was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly, causing the beginning of nearly 40 years as a puublic official. At home from 1762 to 1764, Franklin travelled throughout the colonies, reorganizing the American postal system. He also built aa new house on Market Street in Philadelphia, now reconstructed and open to visitors, and otherwise provided for his family. From April 1775 to October 1776, Franklin served on the Pennsylvania Committee of Safety and in the Continental Congress, submitted articles of confederation for the united colonies, proposed a new constitution for Pennsylvania, and helped draft the Declaration of Independence. After the loss at Yorktown, in! 1781,he finally persuaded British leaders that they could not win the war, Franklin made secret contact with peace negotiators sent from London. Franklin had many accomplishments in his life. Franklin's final public pronouncements urged ratification of the Constitution and approved the inauguration of the new federal government under his admired friend

IrinaK [193]

The correct answers are:

1. The wars have resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians.

In both of this wars, the biggest damage has been done to the civilian population that didn't had any responsibility whatsoever for the actions of the governments/leaders. Apart from the huge amount of deaths, millions of people have migrated or are trying to migrate to other more developed and safer countries.

3. Despite long wars, battles with insurgencies in both countries continue.

Even though both of this wars are lasting for over a decade, the situation in neither of them is not stabilized to an acceptable level and there's still lots of battles and terrorist attacks taking place.

5. The wars have been expensive, costing trillions of dollars.

The wars have been heavily sponsored by the budgets of the countries involved, and trillions of dollars that could have been used for good causes, war spent on creating wars that don't seem to have any positive effect.

6. Thousands of US troops have been killed.

Another issue that revolts the US public is that thousands of US troops have been killed in this wars, and since most of the people do not agree with the reasons for the wars, it is something that creates lots of anger and displeasure in the country.
