Ok, so that’s 72,152 more than you said. Big difference. We lost 54,000 Americans in the Vietnam War.
72,152 compared to 1,076,549 is about 7.2%
I would also like to add, that there have been recorded cases of false Covid deaths. Meaning that people who died in things like car crashes, and things like that who had Covid at the time, counted toward the Covid death count.
