In that case, I will call foul.  They re****t  14 million Allied dead and
another
8 million Axis dead....... 22 million total for WW II,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_ii

For WW I they indicate 5.525 million Allied dead and 4.386 million Axis
dead for
total military dead of  9.64 million.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war_i

Add WW I military dead with those for WW II and you get 31. 64 million,
not 100
million.

And then there is the Korean War, the Chinese Civil War, the Vietnamese
War,
hundreds of wars in Africa, all started by non-caucasions.
