>Vietnamese losses: 3+ million>US losses: 58,000And yet Amergolems were the ones generationally scarred while Vietnamese moved on like nothing happened. Amerilards even dedicated entire cultural movements to the war.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RmQTYLD398
They're just mad the government forced their rotund forms to go and kill jungle chinks alongside niggers.
>>215361442losing 50k men is a massive failure
I served in the Vietnam War I still remember the chittering noises the gooks'd make when we'd use a flamethrower to get them outta their holesA man doesn't forget a thing like that easily
>>215361442It was just hippie propaganda
>>215361572I remember this guy in my platoon I called him Jim but none of us knew his real name. Jim was the kind of fellow not prone to speaking if you catch my driftWell this one time out in our tents I caught Jim having a wank he was stroking furious style on his dick, mosquitos were landing on his dick but Jim ... Jim just kept going and i thinks to myself "well Jim you gotta do what you gotta do"Well I always think of Jim when I find myself posting to the int Jim reminds me a lot of you guys.
>>215361442number 1: there was a point to all the death for viets, they were fighting for their lives, their nation, their indepedence. americans were fighting for nothingnumber 2: it brainbroke americas because they were objectively the bad guy, it shattered america's self perception, espeically with extensive documentation of war crimes. number 3: as a world superpower, losing 58,000 men is insane in an entirely optional warnumber 4: they lost
Nobody cares about it anymore
>>215361572You can always end it
>>215361558For the time, not really, and it was an era of transition for the military. The Blitzkrieg from the 90s onwards were only possible with technological progress.
>>215361659>they were objectively the bad guyAnd the NVA and VC were the good guys for turning South Vietnam into killing fields
>>215361659forgot the most important point: it was peak kino, absolute cinema
>>215362973This is the most important part. Vietnam War movies are kino on a level that most cannot comprehend. Even movies that parody vietnam flicks tend to be great
>>215361660What about Desert Storm?
>>215361442Just an old fashioned psy-op, there was a lot of moving and shaking going on in the 60’s that would fundamentally change domestic life in America, so we were given a juicy foreign conflict to occupy our attention.
>>215364205Desert Storm was too successful for its own good to make a large impact on the American consciousness. It wasn't even enough to get the guy who won it re-elected, we decided to elect a guy who could play a pretty good saxophone instead.
>>215361442because it was an immensely unpopular war that abused the draft system
>>215361659>it shattered america's self perceptionnobody had this perception that you think we did.>as a world superpower, losing 58,000 men is insane in an entirely optional warmaybe for a tiny country like yours. nobody here honestly gives a shit.
>>215364205Afghanistan is better, especially now that the Taliban won
>>215361442>Forced draft>Recruitment of intellectually impaired people>600000 US+SK losses vs 1 mil VC (at most)>Rapid helicopter deployment meaning most soldiers saw much more combat with less downtime >Lost
>>215364397complete delusion and cope

>>215361475when they changed the draft laws to start drafting middle class college kids did the anti-war movement get big before then they didnt care that drafted rednecks and poors were getting iced
>>215361442because one white life is worth an infinite amount of your non-white untermensch
>>215361442>Amergolems were the ones generationally scarredbloated ego plus inexperience against actual jungle guerrilla warfare>>215364397read a book or two, retardit was your 9/11 before 2001same way Afghanistan was the tipping point for the USSR
>>215365728"The draft, a system of conscription that mainly drew from minorities and lower and middle-class whites, inspired much of the protest after 1965. Conscientious objectors played an active role despite their small numbers. Student and blue-collar American opposition to the military draft was compelled by a sentiment that the draft was unfairly administered.Opposition to the war arose during a time of unprecedented student activism, which included the free speech movement and the civil rights movement. The military draft mobilized the baby-boomers, who were most at risk of being drafted, but the opposition grew to include a varied cross-section of Americans. The growing opposition to the Vietnam War was partly attributed to greater access to uncensored information through extensive television coverage on the ground in Vietnam.Anti-War protesters primarily made moral arguments against US involvement in Vietnam. In May 1954, preceding the Quaker protests but just after the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu, the Service Committee bought a page in The New York Times to protest what seemed to be the tendency of the US to step into Indochina as France was stepping out.[2] The moral imperative argument against the war was especially popular among American college students, who were more likely than the general public to accuse the United States of having imperialistic goals in Vietnam and to criticize the war as "immoral."[3] Civilian deaths, which had been downplayed or omitted entirely by the Western media, became a subject of protest when photographic evidence of casualties emerged. The infamous photo of General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan shooting a Viet Cong captain in handcuffs during the Tet Offensive also provoked public outcry.[4] "
The US needs a new proper invasion war. Arab spring was supremely lame and bluepilled
>>215367304Yeah but then migrants
