According to the Military Casualty Information of the Vietnam War, our casualties to date is 737, which surpasses all the casualties in Vietnam from 1957 to 1964, and we’re well into 1965.
We can now get US soldiers killed in a year, when it use to take seven.
I had commented to a friend who was in the thick of the Vietnam protests back in the day that Iraq felt like Vietnam on Internet time. I’m not happy to see that I called that one right.
For an even harsher take on the subject, see Billmon’s Vietnam on Crack.
