US Infantrymen experienced more combat in Vietnam due to the helicopter; which picked him up from one battle and inserted him into another firefight. After two battles, if he was needed in another ongoing skirmish, he'd be choppered into that one too. During WW2, when a GI was in battle, that would be his only one. Until they drove their Trucks, Half Tracks, or in MOST CASEs "Walked" (Marched) toward's their next battle. WW2 was a war in which GI's ADVANCED towards the enemy's capital (Berlin or Tokyo). Fight one battle, win it, then advance forward to the next one, until the war was over. The Vietnam War was fight over there, then go back and fight over here, then go back again and fight in that area. The Helicopter made the Vietnam War the most mobile war in military history.

Was more soldiers killed in World War 2 or in Vietnam?

In America: Soldiers are members of an army. Sailors are members of a navy. Airmen are aviation personnel, normally as members of an Air Force; Marines are Marines and are assigned to the US Navy. Surely you must mean how many US Servicemen were killed in WWII contrasted with the Vietnam War...because there ARE break-down statistics for "Soldier" casualties ONLY; for example, over 58,000 US servicemen were killed in Vietnam...of that figure, about 38,209 were US SOLDIERS. More US servicemen were killed in WWII than Vietnam.
