    Source: old enough to remember Iraq and Afghanistan as an adult and have a parent that went to Vietnam.

      Yeah, I remember Iraq and Afghanistan too. I followed both very closely. Our civilian casualty ratios were far from Israel’s currently claimed 50-50 (as opposed to what it actually probably is, ie 80%+ civilians).

      Fuck, even in Vietnam the ratio wasn’t 50 fucking 50.
