‘Sen. John McCain told Morning Joe. “Who are the real heroes? The 55,000” men who died in Vietnam’
It’s 58,000+. I knew that off the top of my head.
The Vietnam Conflict Extract Data File of the Defense Casualty Analysis System (DCAS) Extract Files contains records of 58,220 U.S. military fatal casualties of the Vietnam War.
McCain thinks 3,000 of them weren’t heroes. They were “crazies” and “hobbits”.
