Did you know.... there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a farmer?

The best soldiers are often from farming backgrounds. Best athletes too.

It would've been embarrassing for the Vietnamese if they'd been defeated by a bunch of waiters lmao

Not to minimise the NLF who were the guerillas, but the Vietnamese had a formal military in the PAVN who were fighting the US and various allies. The PAVN turned out to be one of the most disciplined and effective militaries of the 20th century. Like the uniformed army of a former colony dog walked you dude.
