It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

Americans trying to comprehend people living outside their country except for when they're killing them.

Okay, I agree with your sentiment but that level of harshness isn't needed.

Americans do seriously have a problem with putting their own country as the center of the world in a thousand different ways. American Exceptionalism is pretty severe online, and in ways most Americans aren't even aware they're doing, but that ain't the way to handle it bro. I'm out here being kinda dickish about it and even that I'm second guessing myself. But that's just a bit too harsh.
