    Dude… you would think based on the news it was 99% total, or 500x the norm. I haven’t even heard of a militant killed in months. So maybe 1.2x sounds right to you. Based on the media I consume, I expected literally 3 to 5x if not exponentially more.

      I’d love to be so cynical as you, to see a 20% increase in civillian casualties in a region famous for collateral damage, and go “huh that’s not so much, nothing is happening”. Some people need to learn empathy.
