Best Answer

For the US, and not counting operations and the TET offensive, the bloodiest battle may have been the Ia Drang valley fight, which occurred in 1965; and was depicted in the film "We Were Soldiers...". HOWEVER, the movie (film) only depicts 1/2 of the battle, which was LTC H. Moore's battalion. The fight lasted three days, and a second US Army battalion entered the engagement which was nearly destroyed. Approximately 300 US GI's were killed in all. The Battle of Dak To may have been the second bloodiest, fought by the 173rd Airborne Divison; followed by the Battle of Hamburger Hill fought by the 101st Airborne Division in 1969.
