Some of the project’s main findings include the following: Our tally of all of the war’s recorded dead — including armed forces on all sides, contractors,journalists, humanitarian workers, and civilians — shows that 370,000 people have died due todirect war violence. Indirect deaths from the wars, including those related to malnutrition, damaged healthinfrastructure, and environmental degradation must also be tallied. In previous wars, thesedeaths have far outnumbered deaths from combat. It is likely that many times more than370,000 people have died indirectly in these wars. Approximately 210,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting at the hands of allparties to the conflict, and more will die in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan as the violencecontinues. But most observers acknowledge that the number of civilians killed has beenundercounted. The true number of civilian dead may be much larger when an adequateassessment is made. While we know how many US soldiers have died in the wars (over 6,800), what is startling iswhat we don’t know about the levels of injury and illness in those who have returned from thewars. New disability claims continue to pour into the Department of Veterans Affairs, with970,000 disability claims registered as of 31 March 2014. Many deaths and injuries among UScontractors have not been reported as required by law, but it is likely that at least 6,900 havebeen killed.2 Millions of people have been displaced indefinitely and are living in grossly inadequateconditions. The number of Afghan, Iraqi, and Pakistani war refugees and internally displacedpersons – 7.6 million – is equivalent to all of the people of Massachusetts and Delaware fleeingtheir homes. Iraq’s infrastructure and health and education systems remain war-devastated. The armed conflict in Pakistan, which the US helps the Pakistani military fight by funding,equipping, and training them, is in many ways more intense than in Afghanistan although itreceives less coverage in the US news. The US has made an estimated 76 drone strikes in Yemen, making the US arguably at war in thatcountry. The wars have been accompanied by erosions in civil liberties at home and human rightsviolations abroad.
