Holocaust by Bullets

"more Jews were killed by shooting in Ukraine" -- an estimated 1.5 million --
"than murdered in Auschwitz in the crematoria."

when you boil things down there was technical innovations in mass murder
but much relied on old tried and true methods, bullet to the back of the
head and the like. guess we can't discount the average ho-hum methods of
killing. the toll is just as as great.

did the US military kill more civilians like My Lai scenrios, everyday
shootings as that to Agent Orange?

I guess my point is for all the talk of technology in lockstep with massive
derangement of will to murder, seems the need for the everyday implement of
terror doesnt really change does it?
