I read the source. Good site. The press release it refers to is the information I was talking about. Vietnam also released even more in the months and years that followed that 1995 release. Notice in the press release that the Vietnamese Communists refer to "soldiers killed" or something to that effect. They were talking about NVA, not Viet Cong, I believe. A lot of people have read this and assumed they were talking about all Communist 'combatants'.
The Vietnamese 'government' has also inadvertently released information that shows their hand with respect to their lies about MIAs. Documents were mistakenly released that showed their complicity in the affair. It would be humorous if it weren't so serious.

They were talking about NVA, not Viet Cong, I believe According to the chart on that site, the 1.1 million includes VC and NVA. Your link you posted is from the same site and I agree, it is a very informative site.
Keep up the good work. It's noble, albeit lonely, work you are doing.
