This is what I mean by perspective & proportionality

Add to this context the following:

WW-II            300,000 US    uri http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/jobrien/reference/ob62.html
WW-I             116,000 US    uri http://www.english.emory.edu/LostPoets/Casualties.html
Korean War      33,700 US    uri http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat2.htm **
Viet Nam War   58,226 US    Wikipedia Viet Nam War
Gulf War I            760 US    uri http://www.rense.com/general29/gulf.htm

& indeed I once looked up statistics on all deaths in the USA from all causes & it unfortunately was best found in a commercial database, very complex in nature which occupied a DVD or so.

** contains quite a few other atrocities
