Is that actually true? Certainly doesn't comport with this data from the National Archives unless there's some weird technicality I'm not understanding. Also I know they just say "as part of the United States military" for emphasis but I can't help but think of the alternative "as part of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam".
Either way, funny thing to cite to a guy who dodged the draft (which, to be clear, is one of the few good things he ever did)
I don't think it's true, nor is it true if what he meant was that more people died per-capita. A perplexing and distracting mistake.
