Vietnam Links
So much time has passed since it ended that these links are but a small sample of the huge amount of information on the Internet about every facet of the Vietnam war. Curious about something? Just Google it. For example, on April 13, 2021, the search string “siege of Khe Sanh” produced page after page of hits, with the first unpaid hit being the Wikipedia entry.

Sobering Statistics from the Vietnam War(Received by Webmaster via email from John Winter on August 16, 2018. I found it posted online in several locations in addition to this link, but could find no authoritative provenance. Supposedly as of April 2016. It all sounds plausible to me, but take it with as much salt as you think appropriate. Interesting stuff, though, particularly the part about how fast we are dying off. Makes our reunions seem all the more important.)
