Besides the US victims, it would be nice not to forget the victims in the other camp.
"According to the Vietnamese government, 1,100,000 Vietnam People's Army and National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam military personnel and 2,000,000 Vietnamese civilians on both sides died in the conflict." and "The Army of the Republic of Vietnam ARVN lost approximately 184,000 servicemen during the war,[2] with some estimates as high as a quarter of a million."

For Iraq, figures vary from: "Iraq Body Count: 92,489 100,971 violent civilian deaths as a result of the conflict." to "Opinion Research Business survey 1,033,000 violent deaths as a result of the conflict." (source:
