While I agree that the US has had some bad wars, that article seems a little ... absurd. First line in the tally:
> The U.S. is responsible for between 1 and 1.8 million deaths during the war between the Soviet Union and Afghanistan, by luring the Soviet Union into invading that nation.
Sure, the US did stuff, but you're denying the agency of the Soviet Union (and Afghanistan, for that matter) in actually doing all the killing.
The US has killed enough people directly without blaming it for all armed conflicts since WWII.
