During the Vietnam War (now well documented), the Vietnamese lost 1 million combatants and 4 million civilians. That’s 294,117/yr (5m/17years) or 24,509/mth. This death toll was mainly in jungles and villages. The lost of an estimated 655,000 Iraqis since 2002 ( 655,000/38months = 17,236/mth) where the deaths are in heavily populated cities does not surprise me-it’s probably a low number.
