USA lost 58,000 military
Western supported military lost 300,000
North Vietnam lost 600,000 military
Civilian dead was almost 1,000,000
These figures ONLY reflect losses until Saigon fell to teh North Vietnamese. Losses AFTER the North Vietnamese took over might be double or triple the civilian losses.
They massacred so many people the rivers ran red..... But of course nobody wants to think about that....
