South Vietnamese losses double U.S. battlefield deaths
South Vietnamese battlefield deaths in the past five months have doubled U.S. combat deaths as the South Vietnamese army takes on more of the fighting. Official figures show 8,301 South Vietnamese government troops killed since May 10 versus 4,124 American deaths in the same period, with ongoing withdrawals altering battlefield dynamics and more attacks aimed at local militia units protecting villages. The lull in larger battles continues with few skirmishes and limited fatalities on both sides. North Vietnam says Soviet aid to Hanoi will rise through 1970 until the United States is defeated.
