Alcohol Abuse Info. Accurate alcohol abuse information is critical when discussing the negative effects of alcohol abuse, binge drinking, and alcoholism.
Does anyone know the total number of US military men & women who served “in” VietNam ?
I’m wondering how many American military men/women actually served time in the Viet Nam war . Our involvement started in 1945 but did not go into full swing untill 1960. For 15 years from 1960 to 1975 our soldiers fought long and hard . I know 58,178 of our American heroes lost their lives and another 2,413 are still missing .
Over 150,000 have committed suicide since returning home . It is estimated that 100,000+ VietNam veterans are in prison and another 200,000 on parole . 38% divorced within 6 months after returning home . 90%+ marriages of VietNam vets ended in divorce . Drug and alcohol-abuse problems range anywhere between 50-75% . 40% of VietNam vets are unemployed and 25% earn less than $7000.00 per year !
These stats are truly heartbreaking !!! I found them in a great book written by a good friend and brother in arms who served two tours of duty in VietNam with the 173rd Airborne Brigade :
Title: Nam Vet , by Chuck Dean . For more info : www.namvetbook.com
Number of women was easy to find. During America’s 10 year involvement in Southeast Asia, 5,905 military women served in Vietnam.
As one the total. Subtract one from the other to get men serving.
9,087,000 military personnel served on active duty during the Vietnam Era (5 August 1965-7 May 1975)
