DCAS Vietnam Conflict Extract (RG 330), Indiana list, swept whole; every county record read individually

Roseland's Vietnam allocation is zero, and it is proven, not presumed. The Vietnam Conflict Extract Data File (as of 29 April 2008, of the Defense Casualty Analysis System files, Record Group 330 — the provenance line the file itself prints) was swept whole for Indiana: home-of-record city "Roseland" returns zero matches in the entire state file. The county field was then extracted and every record read individually: St. Joseph County carries exactly 54 dead — South Bend 31, Mishawaka 16, Walkerton 6, Osceola 1, New Carlisle 0, Lakeville 0, Roseland 0. The city split sums to the county's 54 exactly, with no unknown-city remainder, so the zero is an allocation the file itself proves, not an absence of data. Roseland sent men to that war, as it sent them to every war of the century; the federal file, read whole, records that none of them died in it under this town's name.
