Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I wasn’t really around when the US did their post-9/11 thing… but shouldn’t there be more deaths in that period?
I noticed the same. Like I know the second US/Iraq war was a long one, so like the deaths would be diffused over several years, but It doesn't seem to add up?
Here's another graph I found of just Iraqui civilian deaths: 2006 or 7 had about 30,000

The graph clearly isn't including deaths of muslims.
Come to think of it, it doesn't even label who it counts under "battle deaths"...
