Where do you get your anti-US propaganda from?

I think the combined civilian death toll by US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq is ~40,000.

That’s not a good number - but it’s a long way away from hundreds of thousands.

Wikipedia perhaps?

"Credible estimates of Iraq War casualties range from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 to 461,000 total deaths as of June 2011"

And did the US murder all of these people?

And are all these people innocent civilians?

Wikipedia has the breakdown.
