Vietnamese liberals are more annoying than Chinese liberals. I remember someone from Vietnam telling me about Fullbright University and how they showed students there a video on American soldiers during the Vietnam war and the liberals were actually in tears because they “had no idea how hard it was for American soldiers.”
The more I learn about the Vietnam War, the less and less sympathy I have for its veterans. I'm at the point of "They weren't actually spat on, but they should have been. Probably flayed."
Unless you deserted, mutinied, or defected, you're on par with the Wehrmacht at best and more likely to have been the SS at worst.
It was a genocidal war in my view.
The US literally thought they could win the war by just slaughtering their way to a better KDR.
meanwhile they slipped in "oh by the way you don't need to see a rifle when you're tallying up your score!" which is just stepping diagonally into regular old genocide
It really was and I'm also thinking it's why so many Vietnam vets had PTSD. The nazis had the same problem when they were carrying out massacres before they built industrial murder camps.
How the IOF is conducting itself in Gaza is reasonable approximation for how the US military conducted itself in Vietnam.
I extend this to all USAmerican soldiers, past and present
Not a fucking lick. Not one.
They could've gone to Mexico or Canada. They could've dusted their TI at bootcamp FTX. They could've blown their CO away at the front. They could've just defected and tried to blend into Vietnamese culture. Instead, they chose to murder people they'd never met at the behest of people they'd never have a paygrade to stand in the same room as.
There's always a choice. They chose wrong. I have no sympathy.
Was that a person using the Nuremberg defense for Americans in Vietnam? Lmao
"Poor and vulnerable soldiers" horseshit. Muhammad Ali literally stood on his square and said "ain't no vietnamese man ever called me n/" and paid the social price for it; but I'm supposed to feel sorry for peckerwoods who "just followed orders"? Fuck outta here man
Showing footage of the eastern front to the class to talk about how hard it must have been for the nazis to do all that walking
