    … And they’re almost all caused by one side, not casualties divided across two equal fighting armies among civilians.

      I’m not sure that matters, since the majority of military casualties are caused by the same side.

      So for example, when evaluating the Iraq War you would compare Iraqi civilian to Iraqi military casualties. There is little point in looking at American civilian casualties.
