Nah, very few people are actually killed by the US, otherwise the Assange leak wouldn't be an international outrage.

Most of them are killed by rebels and terrorists fighting each other, and most of them are supported by Russia and China. It is far more accurate to say that Russia and china has killed 6 million people in the war on terror alone in the past 20 years.

Killed by US troops and bombs. So easy to make your empire propagandistic claims without evidence. If we start adding all the death and destruction caused by right-wing dictatorships we trained and installed the misery in the third world raises the death count many times over.

"Killed by US troops and bombs. "

Source? Your imagination?

"death and destruction caused by right-wing dictatorships we trained and installed"

Nah, trained and installed by their respective countrymen. Third worlders are human beings with human agency too, not a bunch of puppets or animals who can only mechanically react to stimulations from the US.

Three sources: the costs of war project and byline times and I forget the UK source.

If we bribe, train (School of the Americas for example) and install dictators we are responsible. There are always low lifes in every country and we know how to find them. I ask you for evidence. You give none. I will no longer respond to your comments.

The costs of war project and other sources you cited say a certain amount of people died in this period of time, never have they said they were killed by the US military.

Casualties caused by the US military are well documented and the numbers are incredibly low. The 6 million (if we take that number) are mostly caused by rebels, terrorists and all kinds of civil unrests.
