I see we're going to numbers now. And I am not necessarily speaking the wars only held in american lands. Any war america has participated in has been horrific. Compared to Europes. And Lanthum, Europe is a continent not a country. I am comparing every country in Europe from the 1700s to America up to today, America has definitely had more wars, and spilled more blood. And a dictator killng his own people (stalin) doesn't necessarily count. I am talking full-fledged wars here Logos, waged on other countries. Germany and France for example. America and Mexico, America and Vietnam. America has killed more in war than those other countries, and here are some numbers.
America's Wars Total
Military service during war 42,348,460
Battle deaths 651,008
Other deaths in service (theater)13,998
Other deaths in service (nontheater)525,256
Nonmortal woundings 1,431,290
Living war veterans 17,578,5003
Living veterans 25,038,459
And I'm not talking civilian casualties, just soldiers. Hitler killed the Jews for his belief, which started the war, his army was shredded by america, as was Japans, which can be included, how many died because of the bombs?
Hiroshima Nagasaki
Dead Dead
70,000 20,000
Wounded Wounded
130,000 50,000
.. 90% of Those wounded died within months from radiation poisoning. I think the estimate of deaths from America can't even be calculated, I would guess over 20 million, no telling though, all in the name of freedom and equality. Sure, and now in 2003 we aren't even sure if we have it. Let's go kill some more and call it War of Terror.
