US Death toll now higher than Vietnam War
US Death toll now higher than Vietnam War
In the course of the Vietnam War, 58,220 American soldiers died or were missing and presumed dead.
As of yesterday, U.S. Covid-19 deaths stood at 58,355.
I thought it was a sobering milestone and worthy of note to our American members.

No, China is irresponsible.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: US Death toll now higher than Vietnam War
It's a meaningless statistic except it's to the point that China owes us for 58000 dead citizens. my kid lives and works in Shanghai, and I told her I would give her notice before we dropped smart bombs in her neighborhood.

China will pay on same day when USA will for war damage. On the St. Never-laus day.

Re: US Death toll now higher than Vietnam War
That's a little misleading.
War kills virile young men and women in the prime of their lives.
I would venture to guess that Covid-19 kills many with pre existing conditions and ailments that would have taken them out this year or the next regardless of Covid-19. That along with the elderly, etc.
Did Covid-19 take out healthy, virile people as well? Probably some.
But to compare it to warfare is disingenuous.

In a month or so the cost of this epidemic will be higher than the cost of the Vietnam war too.

Re: US Death toll now higher than Vietnam War
Lets deduct the costs of bombs dropped on Lao and Cambodia and revise those Vietnam war costs.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
