It's one of the purest forms of chauvinism and it's ubiquitous.
Sometimes people do "how many [insert country] lives are worth one American life?" comparisons. Some are based on news coverage, generally by Western outlets. It's usually in the hundreds to thousands.
They do it for Palestinians vs. Israelis as well.
I really can't understand this kind of chauvinism on an emotional level.

We see it on the internet all the time. You just have to think of it as the PCs versus the NPCs. Anglos are the only ones with real agency. They did a 150,000 man raid into Afghanistan for 20 years but they could never beat the final boss. Now all that time and energy and money and labor they spent is wasted, so they are sad. They are also very angry at their mom for canceling their SonyPlus Pass.
A very conservative estimate is 10,000 direct Afghan deaths per year due to occupation.
But let's hear from the Anglo imperialist occupiers who sacrificed limbs for neocolonial lies.
