I've often wondered what a bar graph of the men killed in Viet Nam during the period 1963 - 73 would look like. Pretty startling, don't you think?

Graphically, it reminds me of the Empire State Building, 'cept, I had to tack on another 20 or so floors to cover 1968. (Making it the tallest building in the world :)
