South Vietnamese Deaths Doubling U.S. Losses in War
South Vietnamese battlefield deaths in the past five months outpaced American combat deaths, signaling greater Vietnamese role in the war. Official figures show 3,901 South Vietnamese and 4,194 American deaths in the 22 weeks after May 10, with earlier year totals also skewing toward South Vietnamese losses. The shift follows intensified attacks on village-based militia in isolated areas as U.S. withdrawals proceed, with the Vietnamese army taking over defense in the Mekong Delta.
