American Indians represented less than one percent of the service deaths. Black deaths were about 15 percent in the Army, 13 percent in the Marines, four percent of Navy deaths and nine percent of USAF deaths. Asians had no more than one percent deaths in any service. About 7260 blacks died and 96 percent of those were in the Army or the Marines. About 83 percent of the Army deaths were White and 85 percent of all Marine deaths were White. Hispanic deaths wer between four and five percent. It was not as distorted a picture as most believe. There are 102 Garcias listed on the Vietnam Wall. About 14 percent of the names on the wall are of black men at a time when the US population was about 11
percent black. It may be better stated that wealth had an advantage over poverty then any other factor, if you could afford to go to college, get a Master Degree, go to Law or Medical School you could avoid Vietnam. If you were wealthy, a slot in the National Guard could be found.
