<Possibly five million people died> That is the view shared by the North Vietnamese and Robert Macnamara - and the latter had no motivation to accept a number higher than he thought realistic and was a highly numbers-oriented Secretary of Defense -- it is not unreasonable to assume his assessment would be as accurate as one could expect under the circumstances. As for the breakdown -- 3 million Vietnamese soldiers (total) and 2 million civilian (total). Thanks for the boiler plate laundry list of estimates. And yes, Vietnam is free of foreign domination -- you might want to spend some time there and see for yourself.
