Here is a short excerpt from Howard Zinn's The Twentieth Century (referring to the Spanish-American war):

"A volunteer from this state of Washington wrote: 'Our fighting blood was up, and we all wanted to kill 'n***rs.' ...This shooting human beings beats rabbit hunting all to pieces.' It was a time of intense racism in the United States. In the years between 1889 and 1903, on the average, every week, two Nigroes were lynched by mobs-hanged, burned, mutilated. The Filipinos were brown-skinned and strange looking to Americans...Our men have been relentless, have killed to exterminate men, women, children prisoners and captives. Active insurgents and suspected people from lads ten up, the idea prevailing that the Philippino as such was little better than a dog..."

The following is from Sparknotes.com:

"The most immediat effect of the Vietnam War was the staggering death toll. The war killed an estimated 2 million Vietnamese civilians, 11 North Vietnamwese troops, 200,000 South Vietnamese troops, and 58,000 U.S. troops."
