Posted by Jim Lindgren: 1300 US Deaths Would be a Fairly Bad Month in Vietnam.--
Ann [1]Althouse reports on a man who walked around the Masison Capitol for six hours on New Years Eve with a sign saying 1300, the approximate number of US deaths so far in the Iraqi War that is not yet 2 years old. It is important to remember the lives lost, the families ruined, and the families saved. It is also important to place these losses in the context of other wars. Just to put things in perspective, this would be a fairly bad month in Vietnam, but unremarkable: Consider this stretch of [2]US deaths in Vietnam in 1968: Jan-1320 Feb-2293 Mar-1721 Apr-1543 May-2316 Jun-1310 Or this [3]stretch in 1969: Jan-955 Feb-1263 Mar-1493 Apr-1021 May-1411 Jun-1254 References 1. http://althouse.blogspot.com/2004/12/madison-christmas-peace-vigil.html 2. http://members.aol.com/warlibrary/vwc24.htm 3. http://members.aol.com/warlibrary/vwc24.htm _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://highsorcery.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
