The casualties were about average compared to past US wars when combating the military forces of another nation.
In fact, more men lived than compared to past wars, because of the quick medical evacuations made possible by the helicopter. Although, at the same, more men lost their limbs than in some major past wars, due largely to the vast variety of weapons deployed in Vietnam.
