Those old enough to remember the Vietnam War will recall that the Pentagon issued daily "body counts" implyig that the ratio of dead Vietcong to dead Americans was somehow an index of success. The apparent assumption was that second-hand Russian AK-47 rifles were equal in firepower to US tanks and B-52s.

The White House and ICE have neither confirmed nor denied that they will soon use that format to report daily ICE activities across the USA.

The ajacent photo of Gen. Wm. Westmoreland has no relation to this story.
