Just for a “numbers count” for two big wars we’ve had ... in Iraq, it’s a bit over 500,000 killed since 2003. In Afghanistan, it’s about 30,000 (or maybe a little bit more) for the longest war in US history!
So, for what we’ve been involved in (our two biggest wars) from around 2002 to the present ... it’s been roughly 500,000 (and that’s primarily on the other side)! AND ... that’s been over a 13 year period of time.
We’ve got a very long ways to go before we hit “WORLD WAR STATUS” of 60 million in just five years!
I really don’t understand You’re issue with ‘3’?
Until 1945 ,WWII was known as
The Great War,correct?
At any rate,
Live long and prosper ,
