The highest ranking officers were major generals (5 of them) Blacks were 7,200 of the dead, about 13% 38,000 of the dead were army and 14,800 were marines In addition to the dead, 75,000 were 'severely disabled' after wounds or injuries suffered.

More than 25,000 of those were 'totally disabled 2.6 million American men and women served in Vietnam and nearly one million more served in the Southeast Asia Theater area during the war.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
