The Vietnam War body count controversy
Apples to oranges.
this goes both ways, I say this because from time to time I will see someone post "ukraine is dead"
I don't think anyone can argue the war has been a nightmare for conscripts.
But it's crazy to point to this years long atricion as some kind of light at the end of the tunnel. Like any country with a population in the hundreds of millions is just going to run out of people one day.
