Imo it should be shortened to hard 15-30 years regardless of life or author.

But they don't have to back up their 1 million claim?

Okay here you go.

I mean it's not like we all have access to the Internet and can verify these numbers at any time.

Because it's not that high. 34,144–71,544k military casualties and 103,160–113,728k civilian deaths during the entire 8 years 8 months.

That includes fighting extremists like ISIS and deaths caused by Iraqi security forces (post Saddam) who also have the most casualties on the coalition side.

Many more died due to extremists groups like ISIS outside of the war. If count that then maybe you start to creep up. But I don't think it makes any sense to blame the US for what ISIS and other groups did.

To add on to that the invasion phase itself caused 30k military deaths and 7k civilians.

That number is incredibly misleading.

I have personally RMAed 3 mouses for double click issues and replaced the switches in my current mouse. Hardware is bad.

Don't try it. You will regret it when you play the 90% of games that don't let you set both.

It would be one of the most impactful pro worker thing the government could do right now. So it won't happen:(

I don't think neolibs want to remove power or defund stuff lol. They're not libertarians. They just want to privatize things (which I'm not a fan of).

Idk why neolibs has become the left dumping ground / boogie man. Conservatives are still the real issue.
