The US Military's 20 Million Death Toll: Why Is This Ignored? | Graham Elwood

An investigative foreign policy breakdown and anti-war historical analysis hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante. Reviewing a landmark study published by the Centre for Research on Globalisation (Global Research), Graham examines the human toll of United States military interventions and covert CIA regime-change operations since World War II. The study details how direct wars (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq) and proxy conflicts across 37 nations—including Angola, Bolivia, Chad, Chile, Indonesia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo—have resulted in an estimated 20 to 30 million deaths and countless millions wounded and displaced. Graham highlights the devastating long-term impacts of civilian PTSD, explores specific covert interventions in Latin America and Africa, and challenges bipartisan foreign policy consensus that prioritises corporate interests over human lives.
