Is that actually true? Certainly doesn't comport with this data from the National Archives unless there's some weird technicality I'm not understanding. Also I know they just say "as part of the United States military" for emphasis but I can't help but think of the alternative "as part of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam".

Either way, funny thing to cite to a guy who dodged the draft (which, to be clear, is one of the few good things he ever did)

I don't think it's true, nor is it true if what he meant was that more people died per-capita. A perplexing and distracting mistake.

Hey, it's not everyday my country gets some attention, so they're all running on top of each other for that limelight. We have J-Go, Angel Cintrón and now the Archbishop chiming in, while the leopards are in front of their faces. I sometimes wonder what it will take for my compatriots to understand they're not Americans. Will they have to see gringo pogroms in Florida and NYC? Nah, I know that even when they do see them, they will act as ''shocked'' as they're acting now, as the leopards eat them.

I'm sure he'll get right on that
