You got it.
You may not remember the inexorable killings of Vietnamese during the "war" we were in back in the day.
It was a war fueled by body counts. and of course all dead were counted, no matter if the pieces of bodies that were found belonged to fighters or women or children or old people ...it was the count, that counted.

Because the USA "does not kill innocent people", all dead bodies are guilty.
