That is an outright fabrication, based on an axe-grinding mischaracterization of this report: https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/2018/Human%20Costs%2C%20Nov%208%202018%20CoW.pdf https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/files/cow/imce/papers/20...
Your spin is a falsehood because:
- the 400,000+ number includes Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan
- the report concedes that most deaths are caused by militants
- it covers years in which America was not even engaged in hostilities (e.g., after leaving OIF and before the Iraqi government asked the U.S. military back to counter Daesh)
