Good grief. One million soldiers and two million north Vietnamese are the estimates of the Government of Vietnam as having been KILLED in the north (another 2 million KILLED in the south), not having died from heart failure as the bombs dropped someplace else. If you cannot come to grips with the enormity of the killing in which we engaged that is your problem. But you asked for numbers and the numbers range in the millions, with the official Vietnamese estimate of ALL people KILLED at 5 million dead -- when that many people die you end up with estimates rather than exact counts -- and most of them were civilians. When you firebomb a village, chances are you do not want to go in and count the children.
