Edit:
The visual is about **non-US deaths only**, which is clarified in the accompanying article:
*“NATO’s Article 5 – the clause stating that an attack on one member is an attack on all – has been invoked only once: by the US after the 9/11 attacks. In response, dozens of allied countries deployed troops to the US-led war in Afghanistan.*
*More than 1,100 non-US coalition soldiers were killed in that war. Overall, the conflict killed more than 176,000 people between 2001 and 2021.“*

No Americans in the NATO coalition?
Poor colour choices here.
The two blues aren’t different enough to easily distinguish.
The colours for France and Germany would be fine… if you hadn’t put them directly next to each other. Purple / brown, and brown. Quality.
missing the nearly 2.5k US deaths
This is not beautiful data.
France a Germany colours hard to differentiate.
Other blues as well.
Successful war that too hey
Be also interesting to see how many of those deaths were by US friendly fire as well.
Around 10 British and Canadians from what I remember.
Imagine being a casualty and someone is sorting you in a bag called others. Despicable.
A little over a thousand on this graph, it seems. So just shy of 45 thousand less than the number of civilians killed.
I know the idea here is taking a jab at the US, but sincerely that’s all I can think about when I see these kinds of posts…
I wonder why both Germany and Australia are mentioned, but Poland is not. What was the key?
Actual casualties are here:

These canon fodder were disposed of like trash in a pointless war heh
Now do one based on the population size of each country and it becomes very ugly.
the way this is laid out gives me a headache
