I believe the quibble there is that millions didn't die in the Iraq War.


s/millions/over a million/g


But that's still likely too high.

The truth is important. Getting facts wrong about wars can only help people who are pro-war by making pacifists look uninformed.


Well, how about over a quarter of a million bombs/missiles dropped during the Obama administration? If over half a million deaths in Iraq isn't enough, that number should be sobering.


Again, these points are well-made using the real numbers. I could only find 100k bombs under Obama. Can you cite your number?


When I last looked into it, there were over 20k most years (26k in 2016 alone). so more likely closer to 200k (over 8 years), been a while since I looked... In any case, it's a horrific number.
