Some may, but being a former Vietnam POW does not automatically mean that one has a shorter, or longer, than normal life expectancy.
Approximately 3,403,100 US servicemen served in Southeast Asia (2,594,000 of those men served in country); nearly 60,000 didn't make it back. Those are your "life expectancy" figures.
Nearly 12,000 US helicopters & approximately 40,000 US helicopter pilots served in the Vietnam War. Over 5,000 US helicopters were destroyed and nearly 5,000 US helicopter crewmen were killed in Vietnam. Of those 5000 dead crewmen, about 2,000 were helicopter pilots.
AnswerIt depended on the position they had. An infantry platoon commander in combat had an average of 6 weeks life expectancy. Foot soldiers went by the grace of God, but had a better chance than the infantry platoon commander in combat. During the Vietnam war the helicopters that came in to transport soldiers were the hardest hit with mass casualties.AnswerIn Stalingrado the average life expectancy of a Russian soldier was 24 hours.
The life expectancy of a soldier landing in the streets of Normandy was about 3 seconds. Every three seconds a soldier would die.

That all depends on what war and what battle they were fighting in.....To the best of my knowledge the avg. life expectancy of a paratrooper in Vietnam was less than 20 sec!!

US Infantrymen were alittle more at risk at becoming a casualty, than their WW2 fore fathers; by virtue of the helicopter...which caused the Vietnam War GI to fight more battles in a smaller amount of time than a WW2 serviceman...who had no RAPID DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITIES (the helicopter). Example(s): A WW2 GI might fight one battle in 2 days; whereas a Vietnam GI might fight 2 battles in 2 days. Other than that; each GI in Vietnam was expected to complete his 12 month tour of duty in country.
