Upon review of an Armistice Day post I recently offered here, it occurred to me I should include some statistics regarding our involvement of these various wars of attrition and goal seeking status we've become blithely accustomed to in our lifetimes and beyond.
World War I produced 10% civilian casualties.
World War II rose to a 50% civilian casualty rate.
The Vietnam War escalated the deaths of civilians to 70%.
The most recent Iraq and Afghanistan Wars are estimated to have incurred targeted population to a rate of 90% civilians killed.
I feel rather embarrassed.
