These numbers make no differentiation between civilians and military. Moreover, comparing numbers totally misses the broader picture of the use of terrorism (aka specifically targeting civilians) and the pure insanity on both sides.

No context to the numbers. Without that it is very easy to rant and rave. This is about war and a country’s obligation to protect its citizens. There is nothing fair about war.
People need to stop whining and remember how and why this started.
