Approximately 2,000 US servicemen were MIA or POW. US women during past wars (in the 20th century) were all volunteers and served primarily as nurses. Only 8 US Military female nurses died in the Vietnam War. 5 of those women died in 1975 when the C-5 Galaxy transport they were in crashed during take off during Operation Baby Lift-the evacuation of Saigon (when the NVA were over-running the country). Two US military women died in accidents (one Jeep and one helicopter accident). Only one US miliary female died from enemy action; when a communist rocket attack hit her hospital.

The United States officially lists of 2,550 Americans of which they believe 1200 are confirmed dead with body not recovered; and 1,350 were either Prisoner of War or missing, with current status unknown.

There are those who believe at least some of the missing are still alive and being held by the Vietnamese government or others. The government of Vietnam denies there are any American or other soldiers still being held prisoner.
