ah but you missed the bit of hair that was split

(sorry ,i sort of guessed it must of been the US totals after looking at that statistics page)

my point being :
if there were less dead in the first world war
so the theory of modern conflicts causing less and less deaths as time goes on
is slightly flawed

if say the US were fighting against iraqi troops with exactly the same vintage weaponary ,like in the the world wars..it would be much different
(arguably the US has always had the upper hand even in those wars,but back then the playing field was a lot more even)

I would hate to think what the tolls could be in a full scale world war with modern weaponary..

the war to end all wars...
the neocons masters would never have that
the 60 years or so of peace must of been hell for them..
