President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

Which answer is a complete and correct summary of this part of the speech?

Afghanistan and Iraq are many miles from America, but they have had a major impact on the country.
Over a hundred children were born while their fathers were serving far away from home.
September 11 was a tragic time for all service men and women of the United States of America.
Unlike other countries that stay, it is time for these people in service to return home from war.

Answer:

Unlike other countries that stay, it is time for these people in service to return home from war.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although Bush mentioned how the troops are fighting Afghanistan and Iraq, he never explained how those countries had an impact on the United States as a country.

Bush did state that 150 babies were born, this cannot be the summary as it is only a small part of the speech.

Bush never mentioned anything about 9/11 in this speech.

Bush did state that other nations fight and occupy. Yet, he gives all these reasons for the return of the US troops like the want to return home and see family. He concludes how the nation will welcome back the US troops, implying that the troops will return home.
