France -> Vietnam, Cambodia (First Indochina War) - 400000 civilians dead;
Germany, UK, France, Poland -> Afghanistan (Operation Endured Freedom)- 34000 civillians dead:
Same peaceful countries trying to socialise and entertain-> Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) - 655000 civillians dead.
Dont know about Vietnam as these were events before my time and didnt really read much into it, but regarding Afghanistan and Iraq: these were evil countries, led by evil people, countries who were bases for terrorists, also where local people were suffering, we had to try to liberate at that time.
We had no plans to extend our countries to these countries.
