Broad estimates of US war victims range up to 12 million (a liberal estimate), whereas the Nazis killed over 13 million through mass killings alone (eg the Holocaust + exterminated minorities). The Soviet Union alone lost 20 to 27 million depending on who you ask.

In addition to the 500k-millions of native peoples and hundreds of tribes the US systematically nearly eradicated, lets take just a few more examples.

  • Vietnam: 1.5M killed
  • Laos: 300k
  • Iraq: 1M
  • Indonesia: 500k-1M
  • Korea: 500k
  • Japan: 200k-1M in civilian bombings

And I haven't even started on operation condor and latin america yet.

The real tragedy is that of the victims who got stuck in the middle between two doctrines hell-bent on global domination.

The case of Imperial Japan is equivalent to that of Nazi Germany. A fascist regime that saw millions intentionally slaughtered and worked to death across Asia.

Here are some links for reading more about the killings related to:
