You should not speak of things you know not of.\n\nVietnam was divided into two countries before and during the war.  North Vietnam was the aggressor in the Vietnam war.  The NVA, North Vietnamese Army, and the VCs, the Viet Cong, killed more innocent people than what is stated in your specious comment.\n\nPlus, your figure includes the 600,000 NVA killed in legitimate combat and the estimated VC casualties also legitimate combat kills.\n\nGet your facts straight before you make such comments.\n\nFurthermore, your statement insults the brave men that were in the US Armed Forces during the war!

America achieved nothing.  Our poor soldiers died--58,000--thinking they were supporting our country.  After losing several friends to it, to this day I hate that there was ever a war like that.

Basically, it was a failure (like today's war in Iraq) and many American soldiers' lives were lost.\n\nThe Vietnam War or Second Indochina War 1 was a conflict between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRVN, or North Vietnam), allied with the National Liberation Front (NLF, or "Viet Cong") against the Republic of Vietnam (RVN, or South Vietnam), and its allies — notably the United States military in support of the South, with US combat troops involved from shortly after the Korean War until the official withdrawal in 1975.\n\nAfter France's attempted recolonization of Indochina was defeated in 1954 by the Viet Minh at the battle of Điện Biên Phủ, an agreement to temporarily partition the country in two with a de-militarized zone (DMZ) was reached at the Geneva Conference (1954). The "Vietnam War" ostensibly began as a civil war between feuding governments. Being Western-oriented and far less popular than Hồ Chí Minh's northern rebellion, the South Vietnam government fought largely to maintain its governing status within the partitioned entity, rather than to "unify the country" as was the goal of the North. Fighting began in 1957 and with U.S. and Soviet-Chinese involvement would steadily escalate and spill over into the neighboring Indochinese countries of Cambodia and Laos.\n\nThe Geneva partition was not a natural division of Vietnam and was not intended to create two separate countries. But the South government, with the support of the United States, blocked the Geneva scheduled elections for reunification. In the context of the Cold War, and with the recent Korean War as a precedent, the U.S. had feared that a reunified Vietnam would elect a Communist government under the popular Hồ Chí Minh. South Vietnam and its Western allies portrayed the conflict as based in a principled opposition to communism —to deter the expansion of Soviet-based control throughout Southeast Asia, and to set the tone for any likely future superpower conflicts. The North Vietnamese government and its Southern dissident allies (NLF) viewed the war as a struggle to reunite the country and to repel a foreign aggressor —a virtual continuation of the earlier war for independence against the French.\n\nAfter fifteen years of protracted fighting and massive civilian and military casualties, major direct U.S. involvement ended with the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. Fighting between Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces against the dominant combined People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) and NLF forces would soon bring an end to the RVN and the war. With the Northern victory, the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (SRV) with a communist-controlled government based in the new capital Hanoi.\n\nThis is just a brief summary.

Hate to tell you Navy Officer, there were no insurgents in Iraq bedore we got there.\n\nAnd your pious attitude about the death of American Soldiers for illigeyimate reasons is sickening. Pick up a rifle my man and jump on a land mine.\n\nAnd your Vietnam statements are even worse. I didn't see you there! Nixon Withdrew the troops.\n\nSource:\n15th Field Artillery Regiment\nWWI WW2 Korea Vietnam\nPanama Bosnia Iraq\nVietnam War Timeline\n"An individual's political beliefs depend on when\nhe became politically aware."\nAUTHOR UNKNOWN\n\n1970 - War Powers - By the time Congress learned that the naval incident leading to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (1964) had been misrepresented and moved to repeal the resolution in 1970, President Nixon had already shifted to another legal rationale -- his constitutional powers as "Commander in Chief" -- for his Vietnam policies. In its 1969 "national commitments" resolution, the Senate made a bid to reassert a congressional voice in decisions committing the US to the defense of foreign countries. The House passed war-powers measures in 1970, 1971 and 1972.\n27 Jan 73 - Official end of the Vietnam War.   Between 27 Jan and 29 Mar 73, a total of 587 military and civilian prisoners were released by the North Vietnamese, and during that same period, 23,500 US troops were withdrawn from South Vietnam\n29 Mar 73 - 67 more US P.O.W.'s were freed in Hanoi. The same day, the US withdrew its remaining 2,500 troops from South Vietnam. This date also marked the actual end of military involvement in Vietnam.\n10 May 73 - Due to continued bombing of Laos and Cambodia, the House voted (219-188) for the first time to cut-off Indochina funds\n31 May 73 - The Senate took strong action prohibiting the use of any funds appropriated by Congress to be used for combat activities in Laos or Cambodia\n7 Nov 73 - War Powers Act - Congress dealt President Nixon a stunning setback when it voted to override his veto of legislation limiting presidential powers to commit US forces abroad without congressional approval.   Congress, with the Vietnam War and the showdown over continued bombing in Cambodia behind it, was anxious to reassert its role in the conduct of the country's foreign affairs"\n\nYou have no idea of the total mess we have made in Iraq and in the world community.

There is 26 to 30 thousand people murdered in the US every year.I don`t know how many troops died last year in Iraq,but I`m sure It pails in comparison to the war on the streets of America.If I had to guess I would say less than 3% of the total.It seems terribly sad that we talk about these past souls as though they are change on the counter top.The world Is In a tragic state.Good Luck to you!

I'm not sure that we know. The sources I found said that 30,000 people died, but there are "no detailed records."
1072435
The actual numbers were 34 dead and 173 wounded, or a total of 70% of the crew.  The Liberty was our newest "Intelligence" ship.  (clue)  This investigation was squashed and deemed classified by the Johnson Administration 39 years ago.  There are veteran groups out there today still trying to get  satisfaction on this issue. So in answer to your question,  essentially nothing was done except a whole lot of sweeping under the rug.

I see that you have posted another question you really don't want an answer to. Stop telling us what we already know. People die in wars. Here are some numbers for you:\n\nTop ten wars with the most US military fatalities: as of 2003\n\n10: Gulf War: 148\n9:   Spanish/American war of 1898: 385\n8:   Mexican war of 1846: 1733\n7:   War of 1812: 2,260\n6:   Revolutionary War: 4,435\n5:   Korean War:  33,651\n4:   World War l:  53,513\n3:   Vietnam:  58,193\n2:   Civil War:  140,414 (Union only: Confederates recorded at 74,000 est)\n\nNUMBER ONE:  World War ll:  292,131\n\nThe greatest civilian losses in all world history are from World War ll: Across the globe, a shocking tally of: 25,568,400.\n\n42,747 Civilian deaths are reported at http://iraqbodycount.net/ and that doesn't compare to the lowest civilian body count of WWll which was 300,000 suffered in Hungary.\n\nCurrent death toll of our service men totals in at 2500 estimate, with changes daily. That currently puts Iraq in at #7 on the top ten.\n\nI don't want to see this war climb to number 6 any more than any one else. Beyond that, what I am trying to say, is that what you are saying has been known for centuries (speaking of the fact that people die in wars) so you aren't presenting anything new and in fact you are just ranting. Yet, I will answer you question by saying this. ONE death from this war, was too many. That is the reality of war. It is hell and good people die. I wish it weren't happening, but there it is. Support our troops, and welcome them home when they come!

Check out the link below. CNN has been doing a good job tracking the casualties. You can view by age, Gender, name, etc..

Interesting that you ask this question because very few knew that the U.S. was with a coalition of forces in defending South Vietnam. Answer #1 is correct with 520 total deaths out of a force of 7,672 (http://www.awm.gov.au/atwar/statistics/vietnam.htm), which equates to 6.8% of their total force being killed in Vietnam. By comparrison 10.6% of the total U.S. forces had died in Vietnam. \n\nThat is astounding considering that the Australians did not rely on artillery or air strikes when they engaged with the Viet Cong or NAV forces. The Aussies used ground maneuvers when engaging the enemy, just like the Viet Cong and NVA, and were very well respected by their enemy.

I heard the total number of Iraqi's who have died since the American occupation is around 100,000. How many have died since the war officially ended I couldn't say.\n\nIt is very naive by the way to believe insurgents are responsible for the majority of these deaths.

It was the Vietnam War.  Millions of gallons were used.  A whole lot.  Look it up on Wikipedia or do a google search.

It is estimated that 60,000-65,000 insurgents have been killed in the same time frame as our 2,500. That is about 30-1. Our soldiers are well trained.
