Another leftist defeatist tactic that once again cannot stand up to the facts of the matter. And once again, I will refute the BS claims the left and their MSM pals insist on making.
The US, ARVN, and allied Australian and South Korean forces suffered 4,324 killed, 16,063 wounded, and 598 missing due to the Tet Offensive.
The US has had 2,809 Service Members killed in Iraq since the start of the war, with another 20,887 wounded.
As for the US casualties in the Tet Offensive, 1,536 were KIA and another 7,764 were WIA.
For the year (1968) that Tet took place, 14,594 Service Members were KIA. 87,388 were WIA.
Comparing Vietnam to Iraq is like comparing apples and oranges. There cannot be a viable comparison between the two when it comes to the amount of casualties that are suffered.
Every lost soul in this war is tragic. I have lost a close friend to this war and it hurts every day. But, I will not stand idly by and let him, or the other 2,808 be slandered by the left and the lies that they portray on a daily basis.
This war is being won by our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines, and our Coasties.
This war can be lost by the political left and their defeatist cronies.
