Vitamin C is important for renewing and repairing tissues, iron absorption and other functions. It's abundant in many fruits and vegetables, with top sources being bell peppers, guava, leafy greens, kiwi, berries, citrus fruits, tomatoes and peas.
By November 1967, the number of American troops in Vietnam was approaching 500,000, and U.S. casualties had reached 15,058 killed and 109,527 wounded. As the war stretched on, some soldiers came to mistrust their governmentâs reasons for keeping them there, as well as Washingtonâs claims that the war was being won.
By the end of the year, there would be over 165,000 troops in Vietnam. In less than 4 years we go from 650 advisers to 165,000 troops. No declaration of war ever existed, and throughout the whole time before the April 1965 approval of offensive combat, troops still participated in self defense.
