ZIP. ZERO. NADA.
OMG 30%?!?! I'm sure that not one San Diegan had any trouble exercising their right to obtain medication as a result.
Please Grandpa, tell us the story again about the body counts, and how we almost, could of, won in Vietnam:
Body count figures have a long history in military planning and propaganda.
Since the goal of the United States in the Vietnam War was not to conquer North Vietnam but rather to ensure the survival of the South Vietnamese government, measuring progress was difficult. All the contested territory was theoretically "held" already. Instead, the U.S. army used body counts to show that the U.S. was winning the war. The Army's theory was that eventually, the Vietcong and North Vietnamese Army would lose due to attrition.
Ho Chi Minh said, in reference to the French, "You can kill ten of our men for every one we kill of yours. But even at those odds, you will lose and we will win." Most analysis of war casualties indicates that the allied army inflicted roughly a three-to-two ratio of communist combat deaths against allied deaths[1]. Ho Chi Minh was proved correct in that the US eventually faced an outright defeat.
