What is the life expectancy for Vietnam?

US Infantrymen were alittle more at risk at becoming a casualty, than their WW2 fore fathers; by virtue of the helicopter...which caused the Vietnam War GI to fight more battles in a smaller amount of time than a WW2 serviceman...who had no RAPID DEPLOYMENT CAPABILITIES (the helicopter). Example(s): A WW2 GI might fight one battle in 2 days; whereas a Vietnam GI might fight 2 battles in 2 days. Other than that; each GI in Vietnam was expected to complete his 12 month tour of duty in country.
