There is a lot of confusion about how many people actually died in Bosnia and the media has never even attempted to address this. But here finally is an article which explains this indepth. In particular it addresses several myths:

102,000 people died, not 200,000 or 250,000 as is commonly claimed.

Roughly half were civilians and half were combat soldiers, which is contrary to popular belief that all the dead were civilians who were massacred.

Of the civilians, the three sides (Serbs, Croats, and Muslims) had roughly equal number of casualties (16,700 for Serbs and 38,000 for Muslims and Croats combined). This is contrary to the popular belief that all the dead belonged to one ethnic group (the good guys) and were killed by the other ethnic group (the bad guys).

There. Now you guys no longer have a reason to argue about the death toll in Bosnia.

P.S. Sorry if I bumped someone who doesn't care about this topic. I just went to a post about the Balkans and added all the usernames of people who replied so I assumed you're all interested.
