The invaluable Costs of War Project has long reported that close to a million people, including Americans, died in the major zones of conflict in this country’s post-9/11 war on terror. It’s worth stopping a moment to take that figure in. Almost a million deaths — and mind you, that’s in a war (or actually a series of conflicts) that, despite what you might hear in this country, is not over. From Syria to Somalia, Americans are still pursuing it.

Excellent post. If that's a reliable figure (and I've never heard of the COW Project), it saves me from trying to add up all the bodies. The events of 9/11, and the dried up Euphrates at that particular time, at the precise dawn of the seventh mellennium of (modern) mankind -- which began along the Euphrates some six millennia ago -- is called in the Bible "the Battle of Ar Mageddon." It's last plague # 7. The plagues are preceded by Jesus saying the Earth is overpopulated and must be reaped.

I'm wandering though how many of the corpses are those of the enemy (demon-possessed kings of the East), and how many are from the good guys (Christian nations)? And I include the great whore sitting on five seas (Moscow) as one of the homes of the prophesied demon-possessed kings of the East.

Anyhow, its part of the marriage supper of the Lamb which generates a lot of dead bodies. You know, two men will be in one bed, one taken the other left, two women will be grinding, one will be taken and the other left, etc. And there will probably be a lot more deaths before World War III is over with.
