Some estimates indicate million killed in Iraq alone: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORB_survey_of_Iraq_War_casualties https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ORB_survey_of_Iraq_War_casualt.... Apart from Afghanistan, you'd also need to add civilian victims of US sanctions.
The fact that US uses lawyers "to ensure the law of armed conflict is followed" does not mean they care about civilians; it means they care about being sued in case they killed someone whose family can afford lawyers.
- torstenvl 5y agoA country cannot be sued for causing a civilian death in war. Your speculation about motivations has no basis in reality. Additionally, the link you posted about deaths in Iraq does not say what you think it says.
- trasz 5y agoIndividual soldiers can, and US is very protective about its war criminals (see Iran Air 655). Almost every country cares about civilians more the US: by not waging wars.
