Typical DemoCRAP line! Always on the attack, and with few facts....Did you mis this part of the article? SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS... 76% of the men sent to Vietnam were from lower middle/working class backgrounds. Thee-fourths had family incomes above the poverty level; 50% were from middle income backgrounds. Some 23% of Vietnam vets had fathers with professional, managerial or technical occupations. 79% of the men who served in Vietnam had a high school education or better when they entered the military service. (63% of Korean War vets and only 45% of WWII vets had completed high school upon separation.) Deaths by region per 100,000 of population: South -- 31%, West -- 29.9%; Midwest -- 28.4%; Northeast -- 23.5%.
