Interesting fact I heard last night at bookstudy, more people have died in the war against terror than in the original 9/11 attacks. Was fitting for the bookstudy lesson

Uh probably a few million at least have been killed worldwide.

Does that count civilians? I heard tens of thousands died in Iraq alone.

I guess it implies civilians, since 9/11 were all civilians. I figured with all the bombings from military campaigns, more civilians would have died.

92k people is still a LOT..

to put it into perspective, when they nuked Hiroshima, only 80k people died from the initial blast.

Yeah it is alot.

Craziness...Imagine having to be part of the crew that cleaned up the mess...Wow...

Oh ok, I think I mistated... I think the actual statistic I'm talking about is how many soldiers of US died in battle for war on terror compared to civilians died on 9/11. Which is even more ridiculous statistic I think personally.
