  I wasn’t really around when the US did their post-9/11 thing… but shouldn’t there be more deaths in that period?

    The graph clearly isn’t including deaths of muslims.

    Come to think of it, it doesn’t even label who it counts under “battle deaths”…

    I noticed the same. Like I know the second US/Iraq war was a long one, so like the deaths would be diffused over several years, but It doesn’t seem to add up?

    Here’s another graph I found of just Iraqui civilian deaths: 2006 or 7 had about 30,000
