Actually 100,000 is on the very low end that goes up a magnitude of order more which also multiplies by a factor of 5 if you include seriously injured. Do you think all those families with lost loved ones, jobs, homes and critical infrastructure(electricity and water) are sitting around saying “Well, they didn’t intentionally do it.” Collateral damage is scholarly sounding name for oops sorry – which is supposed to make it all better and absolve guilt.[/quote]
Guys, are you aware how careful we are in Afghanistan nowadays? How much analysis goes on before a bomb or missile or drone strike? How confirmation is required before shooting?
Just because you postulate that there are slobbering barbarians at the controls doesn’t make it so.
In Afghanistan, I believe NGOs have concluded something like 90% of the civilian deaths have been caused by Taliban and AQ.
In Iraq, are you saying *we* have killed 100,000 *civilians* and seriously injured 500,000? Can you back that up from a credible source?
