In the week the U.S. withdrew its last combat troops from Iraq (leaving a mere 50,000 who probably could do bit of fighting if required) here’s a small quiz. Name the years that these Coalition of the Willing members pulled their personnel out of Iraq:
- Honduras
- Mongolia
- Dominican Republic
- Tonga
- Iceland
You can find most of the answers over at Duck of Minerva, although you’ll have to check out this list at Wikipedia if you can’t quite recall when the Mongolians and Tongans shipped out… As for Iceland, well they sent one guy and he left in 2007.
