Can that possibly be true?

The numbers I have seen are more like 250,000 for the entire war, which has been about 900 days. That's more like 300 a day, which is still an enormous number. The American deaths in Vietnam were about 60,000, or way less than 10 per day.

Casualties include wounded. A wounded man isn't fighting anymore for at least a while. marble falls 16 hrs ago #6
