Survival Chances In Viet War Better
AP report notes that drafted American soldiers face higher survival odds in Viet Nam than in Korea or World War II.

The article details casualty patterns among riflemen, radio and grenade launcher crews, medics, and reconnaissance units, and cites a current annual death rate of 24 per 1,000 Army personnel in Vietnam.
