A signifigant number of those sent to Veitnam were draftees too. And even then, our causilty rates were miniscule compared to the enemy. During the time we lost 50,000 -- they lost close to a million -- if memory serves me right.

Americans haven't had to face an enemy on anything resembling even terms since we fought the Germans in WWII. And even then, we enjoyed almost total air superiority -- as Hitler had committed nearly all his air power to the Russian front.
