Go to the real Wall? Of course, and to the Lincoln Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery and to the rest of the monuments in D.C. Second - more than six times as many GIs have been killed in Iraq to date as died in Vietnam between 1961 and the end of 1964; I suspect Emanuel's got it right. (And imagine what that death toll would be were it not for today's body armor and vastly improved trauma care; were this 1968 many if not most of today's amputees would be counted among the dead.)
