I believe the quibble there is that millions didn't die in the Iraq War.

    But that's still likely too high. The truth is important. Getting facts wrong about wars can only help people who are pro-war by making pacifists look uninformed.

      Well, how about over a quarter of a million bombs/missiles dropped during the Obama administration? If over half a million deaths in Iraq isn't enough, that number should be sobering.

        Again, these points are well-made using the real numbers. I could only find 100k bombs under Obama. Can you cite your number?

          When I last looked into it, there were over 20k most years (26k in 2016 alone). so more likely closer to 200k (over 8 years), been a while since I looked... In any case, it's a horrific number.
