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.

Since the war lasted so long and so many men were rotating in and out of South Vietnam from so many branches of service; US Army, US Marine Corps, US Navy, US Air Force, US Coast Guard...and probably civilians too (CIA, Contractors, etc.), plus there were so many 2nd, 3rd, and more "tours" in the Vietnam war...it simplified everything all the way around to simply state "in country." Meaning "he's either here or he ain't."
