Thanks for the link, Carl-
I just borrowed this from it:

"On May 13, 1972, as reported in the Stars and Stripes newspaper, 'the allied commands reported these total
casualties for the war:

Americans ---
45,734 killed in action,
303,045 wounded,
10,152 dead from non-hostile causes.

South Vietnamese ---
141,977 killed in action,
361,048 wounded.

North Vietnamese and Viet Cong ---
828,050 killed.'

Many years later, the Vietnamese would admit
that during the war, the NVA had more than 100,000 MIA."

Wow. How can anyone say we lost? Yes, we lost a lot, but we didn't "lose", and this may be getting old, but we just weren't allowed to WIN.
