-->Hallo toby,
ich schaue immer unter www.antiwar.com, wenn ich mich über die aktuellen Stories in Sachen Kriegsschauplätze informieren will. Ist meist was dabei, man muß allerdings erst durch die Fülle von Irak-Überschriften hindurch.
Zu deiner Frage bezĂĽglich amerikanischer Verluste im Vietnam-Krieg:
Letztlich gelang es der USA durch diese Maßnahme die Anzahl amerikanischer Verluste auf ca. 60 000 Amerikaner zu begrenzen, während die Opfer unter der vietnamesischen Zivilbevölkerung in die Millionen gingen.

15 Afghans die in air raid, gunbattles
KABUL: At least eight members of an Afghan family were killed in an aerial bombardment in Afghanistan’s eastern province of Nooristan, while seven people died in fighting between rival militias in Afghanistan’s northern Saripul province.
The victims killed in Friday night’s raid were relatives of Ghulam Rabbani, an influential tribal chief of Arsent village in the remote Vigol district, colonel Ghulamullah Nooristani, police chief of Nooristan, told Reuters in Kabul on Sunday.
"The total number of casualties has not been ascertained yet, but I do know that eight people in Rabbani’s house have been killed as a result of the bombardment," he said. Nooristani did not have further details or say who may have carried out the attack, but sources in the capital assumed the raid was carried out by US-led forces stationed in Afghanistan, as they control the country’s air space.
Rabbani belongs to Jamiat-e-Islami and had served as a governor in Kunar province for a decade. No US military official was available for immediate contact. Meanwhile, at least seven people, including two civilians, were killed in fighting between rival militias in Afghanistan’s northern Saripul province, officials said on Sunday.
Fighting between the Jamiat militia, made up of ethnic Tajik fighters, and the Junbish militia of ethnic Uzbeks started in Kohistanat district of Saripul province 320 kilometers north of Kabul on Saturday afternoon.
The violence was continuing for the third day on Sunday, a local Jamiat commander told AFP in the northern city of Mazar."Five militia members and two civilians died in the fighting. The civilians were killed when a rocket hit their house," said General Abdul Sabor, the spokesman for Jamiat faction. The dead were a woman and a child, Sabor said.
"The fighting started when Junbish fighters under the command of Kamal Khan attacked Jamiat positions and they were pushed back," said Jamiat commander Malim Abdul Aziz."The rival factions used heavy weapons, tanks and rockets in the fighting," Aziz said.
