MYTH: Common Belief is that a 'Disproportionate Number of Blacks' were Killed in Viet Nam.
FACT: ' 86%' of the Men Who Died in Vietnam were 'Caucasians',... Only 12.5% were Black, 1.2 % were other Races. Sociologists : Charles C. Moskos and John Sibley Buter, in Their Recently Published Book " All That We Can Be" said they Analyzed the Claim that 'Blacks' were Used like Cannon Fodder during Vietnam , and " Can Report Definitely That this Charge is " UNTRUE ". Black Fatalities Amounted to 12% of All Americans Killed in Southeast Asia
.
A Fiqure ' Proportional ' to the Number of Blacks in the U.S. Population at the Time and Slightly LOWER than the Proportion of Blacks in the Army at the Close of the War.
