Just curious.. where did this information come from?
The United Nations and various sites that track civilian casualties. You clearly have a means to do an internet search. I'm not going to do the work for you.

I don't believe I've asked you to do the work for me. I simply asked where the info came from, as you do not partake in U.S. news, except for local. Next question is where is "there"? Afghanistan, Iraq, both, more?
Posted on 7/3/14 at 1:07 pm to Alahunter
Both Iraq Afghanistan. I'm certainly not going back to Vietnam and shite.

Well you can start with wikipedia and the references listed there.
Estimates range from 100,000 to 1,000,000.
Even more telling is they don't exactly know. They know to the person how many white folks have died, brown people? 'Ahh ya know whatever'

Power of pride
(but at least we kept those communists out of North Vietnam)

133,000 number for civilians killed by direct war-related violence includes deaths recorded by official government sources and news media caused by all parties to the war — the US, its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and militants/insurgents.

The decade long war in Afghanistan has continued to take lives with each passing year. As of February 2014, at least 21,000 civilians are estimated to have died violent deaths as a result of the war
Not even in the hundredS yet. And that's factoring in every death, by every side. Which I'd bet more are killed by insurgents and terrorists than the U.S.

Does it really matter? They are deaths due to pointless wars that we shouldn't be fighting in the first place

I feel lots of deflection coming on when facts confront claims.

So much bait and quality trolling in this thread.
Lee Greenwood does suck, that much is fact.

The fact is every number from every source is an estimation. If you want to toot the horn that we're not yet at 100,000 civilian deaths, go right ahead. There are many, many trusted and respected sources that put the number well over 100,000. Some ven up to 500,000.
