I came across this interesting document and since I've never seen this in published form, thought I'd share it here as it may be of some interest to someone?

With the highest losses on the chart for F-105 and F-100 aircraft, I wonder how many of these may have fallen during Wild Weasel missions. The F-4's have the next highest losses and they too served in the Wild Weasel role. Interesting to know what the percentage was.
 
A stupid waste of taxpayer money sunk into a criminally stupid war. 8 million tons of explosives dropped, nearly 1.5 million lives lost over the course of 15 years, and the end result ? exactly what was feared at the beginning, that is, communists rolled over.
