People in Afghanistan got killed by drone strikes or "exfiltrated" to Guantanamo or a load of "black sites". The "war on terror" is absolutely as murderous.
The War on Terror is an actual war waged using actual militaries. And non-American citizens don't have constitutional rights outside United States territory. Those facts in no way diminish the wrongness of what has happened, but we could just as well compare it to Global Warming and our complicity in the death of millions; the connection would be just as tenuous and unconstructive.
That said, interestingly in 2016 ~1100 people were killed by police officers in the United States[1], while ~1600 people were killed by drone strikes in Afghanistan[2].
