How many Latinos died in the Vietnam War and what percentage is this of the total US dead?
Because the Department of Defense does not maintain statistics on who should (or should not) be classified as Hispanic it becomes a guessing game at best. The 1970 census figures show that the US population was 4.5 percent Hispanic. Using names alone to determine the needed information is a less than scientific method but it yields about 3,190 names that seem to be Hispanic or 5.5 percent of the US deaths. There were 58 Lopez(s), 82 Rodriguez(s), 53 Hernandez(s), 85 Gonzalez(s) and 102 Garcia's killed in Vietnam.
