They Too Fell
Non-Hostile Deaths of 1,400 U.S. Army Personnel in Vietnam During My Tour of Duty, 1967-1968
John R Walker

Omschrijving
This work explains how 1,400 American soldiers died during the author's twelve months of U.S. Army service in Vietnam combined with his personal reminiscences from each month. The Department of Defense used nineteen casualty detail headings to categorize non-hostile deaths, but attributed friendly fire deaths to hostile causes. However, many "misadventure" fatalities were accidents and are included in the 1,400. The first two chapters define each casualty detail, and how it might have occurred. The monthly chapters provide a complete accounting of all the Army's non-hostile fatal incidents that month, including friendly fire, interspersed with the author's personal memories. The last chapter examines the declining rate of non-hostile fatalities in America's earlier wars. The epilogue reflects on the author's own attitudes, then and now, about U.S. involvement in Vietnam.
