It has been stated in another forum that America has murdered more people throughout history than any other country.
I believe that is a very broad statement.
I believe circumstances have to be taken into account, and I also believe the end result must be taken into account. (ie how many people were freed or liberated as a result)
lets explore.
These are the major wars or conflicts America has participated in. anyone that wishes to add to the list, please do. I wont take the discussion any further untill we have at least agreed on the list of wars / conflicts.
WWI
WWII
Korea
Vietnam
Gulf War
Afghanistan
Iraq
This is just a list of major conflicts that first come to mind. If anyone wants to add other smaller conflicts (Somalia, Grenada, etc) please list them and I will add them.
once we have a final list, we will take the first one and discuss it in depth.
I believe the assertion that America has "murdered" more people than any other country throughout history is complete nonsense.
