Yeeeah, I don't buy those numbers for a millisecond
buh wikipedia says so
amerikkkans did kill 2 million iraqis if they really want to play this game
As shown in Fort Bragg Cartel, spec ops (death squads) in Afghanistan/Iraq had kill quotas they could barely even keep up with throughout these wars and these were never publicly tracked. 50k is definitely a lie.
Well see if we just define everyone within a 5 mile radius of a troop as taliban then blammo, no civilian casualties!
Yeah, it's at least a million gorillion dead, no way evil commies would kill so few.
50.... 50 thousand...
I'm sorry... THOUSAND... 50 thousand civillians is somehow okay? Definitely a low number but that's still 2,500 non-combatants killed per year. If the town where I live had 2,500 deaths in a single year, there would literally be nobody left alive in this town. That's an entire town worth of people, not soldiers, just... people... killed.
Nothing about this number, even as inaccurately low as it most definitely is, should be okay.
I think there is something to be said for comparing the relative propensity for collateral damage between two militaries, but that only applies when the wars are just. The US invasion was not, which means 100% of the deaths were unnecessary.
