U.S. Deaths From Enemy Fire At Highest Level Since Vietnam

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - With fighting in Iraq now at its worst, the number
of U.S. troops killed by enemy fire has reached the highest level since
the Vietnam War.

The first part of April has been the bloodiest period so far for U.S.
troops in Iraq. There were 87 deaths by hostile fire in the first 15
days of this month, more than in the opening two weeks of the invasion,
when 82 Americans were killed in action.

"This has been some pretty intense fighting," said David Segal, director
of the University of Maryland's Center for Research on Military
Organization. "We're looking at what happened during the major battles
of Vietnam."

The last time U.S. troops experienced a two-week loss such as this one
in Iraq was October 1971, two years before U.S. ground involvement ended
in Vietnam.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962.

Ahhhhh. Harry Truman provided military transport to move French troops back
into what was then French Indo China (Vietnam) shortly after the Japanese
surrender -- 1945 maybe. Apparently he was blackmailed by the French. "Either
US supports France in Vietnam or France won't join NATO."

Every president since escalated that charming war. Nixon escalated it more
than any other president -- but ultimately he did get us out.

A little history.
