Why did North Vietnam suffer so many casualties in the Vietnam War? According to Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War (best source of accurate information ikr) North Vietnam's side had over  461 000 men combined, but lost "444,000–1,100,000 military dead or missing and 600,000+ wounded".

The Americans committed around 5,500 democidal killings between 1960 and 1972. Although information is sparse, American bombing in Cambodia is estimated to have killed between 40,000 and 15,000 civilians and combatants. About 18 million gallons of Agent Orange were spraid by the US over more than 10% of Southern Vietnam - 400,000 were killed or maimed and around 500,000 children were born with birth defects.

US military engaged in a policy of killing everything when they realized they couldn't take and hold north vietnam. Most killed were civilian noncombatants.

There is a film that I wish you could identify... I have being looking through WW1 videos but I can't seem to find the name of the film.. anyway, the story follows an Austro-Hungarian artillery battery during the early stages of the First World War. It's fairly old, if I had to guess I'd say 1960s maybe. I was looking but I couldn't find the name, help identifying this film will be highly appreciated.

Probably it's a serbian artillery battery and the movie would be March on the Drina (1964) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_on_the_Drina_(film)

Yes, that's it, thanks for the help!

Sorry for double post.

Are there any websites for WW2 like Napolun?

[Manfried_Wulf]

Does anyone know of any cool Belgian or  "Southern Dutch" regiments during the Napoleonic Wars?

[Duuring]

There were belgians in various French regiments as well as, if I remember correctly, six infantry batallions and three cavalry regiments in the Dutch army of 1815. Pick your fancy.
