how many civilians has america killed in all it's wars? we've got hiroshima and nagasaki, the other japanese cities, dresden, the couple hundred thousand killed in the korean war, about 350,000 in vietnam... and there are likely events i don't know about. so i would guess an extreme of 10 million.... if anyone knows for certain, please let me know...
here's why. America has killed more children, their OWN CHILDREN, in 33 years, than we have civilians, and possibly even militants too, in all our wars.
that is a serious load of "what the ********".

All I can say is to look for unbiased sources. Got oa lib source and the numbers will be exagerated, to to a rupub source and the humbers amy be underestimated.
Kinda like how PP today says that the number of woman before RvW who were killed furing an illigle abortion was between 10 and 50 thousand, but the numbe ris actualy between 500 and 1000

That's not the first time I've heard that...that the US as lost more unborn since RvW than we have soldiers in all the wars The US has ever fought.
The stat given at the time was 40 million unborn. I went to a site that listed military casualties (been years since I looked this up though)...the number of military deaths was no where near that number.

It depends how far back you want to go, really.
The deaths for each specific American war would be for each of these wars that I know of; War for Independence, the civil war, first world war, second world war, the war in Vietnam, the USA trained people to try and overthrow Castro's government during the Cold War so you could count that as well, also one American piolet was killed during the Cuban missile crisis, the gulf war, not a war but the troops in Afganistan, and of course the war on Iraq.
The only way to know the numbers is to look them up individually and add them together.

does anyone know if it's still possible to call the military folks, like the fbi and ask them about stuff like that? i know vonnegut did in slaughterhouse five, i don't know if that's still possible or if it's just for veterans or something
