Remembrance Day
World War I - 6.5 Million
World War II - 30 Million
Korean War - 1.5 Million
Vietnam War - 2-4 Million
Gulf War - 2,300
Current Iraq War - 30,000 (and rising)
These are the (approximate) civilian death tolls of the major 20th/21st century wars.
It's Remembrance Day (or Veterans Day if you're in the United States). So while you're being innundated with how you must remember all the soldiers who gave their lives, think of all the innocents who gave their lives as well.
As my friends in Protest the Hero said in 'Soft Targets Make Softer Graves',"Is it ridiculous to believe that killing the innocent is murder?"
