The Việtnamese War did not involve large numbers of US-Forces until a decade later, so Shermy and Charlie Brown can relax a bit.

About 63,372 ( that’s the number I remember (of course, it probably wasn’t that accurate, but the documentary was trying to be precise)) Americans died in Vietnam. Here’s the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9jpgLRuf3o&t=17s If you want to watch the whole series, which is many hours, just keep clicking on the first video that is suggested.

This strip was written just as the battle of Dien Bien Phu was ending, and I suppose Schulz was aware that this presaged direct American involvement in Vietnam.
