Who's the real successful terrorist group? Really makes you think.
Source from here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_terror and i took the lower # all the estimates, so it's likely much higher. Death to amerikkka, of course.
That's a very conservative casualty list, considering Iraq. 1 millio dead is a conservative estimate, not counting millions more maimed or displaced, and not counting Daesh's reprisals.
Yes, but the estimate was on wikipedia so yeah it's probably severely lowballed.

The estimates vary considerably. The high number that most of us remember in the millions they obscure by using some bullshit stats tactics to make it not count "excess deaths"
I did not add the higher estimates because libs gonna lib and will do the Well Actually thing, and i think even just showing this much discrepancy of civilian deaths -- over 100 times the deaths caused by 9/11 - is strong enough on it's own.
Yeah I mean you can get much more accurate numbers without taking the highest estimates, this is closer to the casualties from Afghanistan/Pakistan - and this isn't some psycho Trueanon source the Afghanistan War page links to this study.
These figures do not include deaths caused by disease, loss of access to food, water, infrastructure, and/or other indirect consequences of the war.
Honestly, I'd like to see a credible source calculate surplus deaths of the two wars. Wars and regime change come with significant human costs, and I really want to see it quantified, without again using some TrueAnon source. I mean, I love the pod, but some of the people they have on area really kooky. Like I'm sure the RFK assassination has interesting stuff to talk about, but then why are you inviting on some person who instantly jumps to some random supernatural stuff?
@Gay_Wrath I'm pretty good at Excel, you mind sharing with me your raw data? I'd like to make a stacked chart that includes low and high estimates, with medians and means and shit. You know, for the :LIB: readers who love quantifying their horror.
e: Honestly, if you feed me data I can make gorgeous infographics out of anything. It's my jam.

the newest calculations puts afghan war at 360k, with significant responsibility for the 40-50k spillover dead in pakistan
You should add min/max estimates, displaying the median in the darkest/strongest color. It looks more scientific while also conveying the probability of that number being much higher. Also, you should add a source that's not wikipedia as well as a cc-license note at the bottom for more conceived professionalism
