We didn't Know ...

The level of ignorance about the true number of deaths our militaries are causing in Afghanistan and Iraq is simply staggering. I'm just watching BBC Question Time when the deaths of British soldiers is mentioned. No mention, of course, of the MILLIONS of civilian deaths in Afghanistan!
