Iraq war. A million casualties, another half-million children from sanctions beforehand. Vietnam was even more bloody. The problem isn't really the definition

Iraq war. A million casualties, another half-million children from sanctions beforehand. Vietnam was even more bloody. The problem isn't really the definition of "major", you can draw the line wherever you want. The problem is that you compare wars to the worst in human history and then use relativism to make other wars insignificant, thereby normalizing state violence. If a serial killer murders 10 people it's absurd to say that is no big deal because others have killed hundreds and, moreover, he killed 20 people the year before so things are on the right track to improving.
