Lincoln's revolutionary war supported by Marx and Engels caused at least 618222 and perhaps as many as 700000 deaths including about 50000 Confederate civilians. Soldiers who were fighting dying and killing during that war were in training for future wars. If Americans could kill fellow citizens then they would use force against foreign citizens in behalf of the government.

In the First World War soldiers killed 9911000 people in action and wounded 21219500 people while 7750000 people were missing in action for a total of 38 880500. In the Second World War there were over 24000000 military deaths and 49000000 civilian deaths totaling 73000000 deaths not including the number of wounded or missing. That is 82911000 deaths in two world wars. The real question is WHY?</p>
