More Puerto Rican soldiers died in the Vietnam War as part of the United States military than soldiers from any state of the United States.

Is that actually true? Certainly doesn't comport with this data from the National Archives unless there's some weird technicality I'm not understanding. Also I know they just say "as part of the United States military" for emphasis but I can't help but think of the alternative "as part of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam".

Either way, funny thing to cite to a guy who dodged the draft (which, to be clear, is one of the few good things he ever did)
