Actually, most of the casualties are IraqisRyan wrote:
If you deselect every country but the united states, you notice that pretty much all of the casualties are American soldier (duh).
Really quite interesting.
I know that, but I guess I'm just emphasizing that the graphic is biased, and ignores the majority of the deaths in this war ... probably because we are too demographically separated from them (race, language, wealth, nationality, etc) to consider their lives significant.CapnNismo wrote:
OH, those aren't showing the Iraqi casualties. Just the coalition members.

This is really neat. You can basically pick which fatalities you would like to see on the map, based on countries. It then has little red dots that show up, and a fast-forwarded timeline from 2003.
Check it out.

Like Nexus said, the amount of deaths aren't what I meant by neat. The website is just neat in itself and how all the dots appear.God Save the Queen wrote:

I think it changed during Vietnam, when the war was "televised" for the first time. People were outraged at what they saw. Unfortunately now, it's become something which we've become desensitized to.nukchebi0 wrote:
I wrote a paper on acceptance of casualties and how it has changed in America from WWII to now. It basically boils down to a lack of censorship and our instinctual reactions to seeing such a small number of personalized passings.
