People are still dying from ordinance from WWI and WWII in Europe.

Also the US dropped more bombs on North Vietnam during the Vietnam War than the total number of bombs dropped during WWII. That is quite a difference, major even.

Yes just not nearly at the rate people are killed and maimed in countries not of European descent.

Bombs that were like 200% more reliable probably moreso so unexploded ordinance is rarer and ordinance was dropped in a much more concentrated area making that issue still less of an issue.

That said their issue is mines and mines and demining technology has gained huge huge steps in technology. Hell most of the mines dropped a around Ukraine are more than likely at and maple leaf style dropped time limited munitions.
