It always gets me when women and normies say “how can they shoot women and children?”. Firstly, because I suppose I’m a fighting age male but I haven’t been involved in any military. Is the implication I’m the “good” kind of civilian to kill? Secondly, they don’t ever bother to say “the elderly”. So what, if you’re a woman you should never be shot, but once a man is old enough to shave that’s it, you can shoot him? Even if he’s too old to move quickly or remember things?

The main reason it bothers me is the underlying subtext.
“Why on earth would you ever shoot someone who’s not a current threat?”
That’s what they’re really asking. And the answer is simple. This isn’t personal self defence, it’s war. By attacking a population, you radicalise them against you, and any and all of them can become a threat later one.

To be clear, I absolutely don’t agree with shooting civilians. I’d go as far to say I am anti war, even (I know, shocking take). But it takes me out of the movie when a clueless normie or foid can’t predict the consequences of a character’s actions. If you want to watch a movie with me, you need to be able to formulate your own future hypotheticals. It’s not my job to explain it to you.

To actually answer your question? You lead the women and children less. They run slower. That movie is a perfect example of my point, especially the ending. Don’t know why everyone sleeps on the second half so much.

>How can they shoot, women and children?
if you "work" people hard enough, you can literally make them believe and do ANYTHING.
the military is designed around "working" people. both on a physical and a spiritual level. its required of you to stop being a human and start being a soldier.

some 19yo german draftee in ukraine BELIEVED that shooting women and children in the woods was an act of justified self defense because they were part of a global jewish conspiracy to destroy germany and the aryan race. narrative and peer pressure are far more powerful than facts.

I always love it when artists of all sorts want to make headlines again after so many years, so they dust off the old film/song/whathaveya from 45 years ago and they go: "It was ACTUALLY about this!!" and they mention something that could (potentially maybe sometimes if you squint really hard) fit their new description or theme

Vietnam was a strategic success. They did in fact force the USSR/China to devote all resources and attention to one shitty little jungle choke point on the map, where they were spreading on all fronts before. It DID halt the progress of global communism. China DID start distancing itself from communism thereafter. The USSR DID go bankrupt and then implode and collapse shortly after.

The CIA DID win.

>By attacking a population, you radicalise them against you, and any and all of them can become a threat later one.
This is because you failed at shooting civilians. If you kill all of them fast enough, they will never get a chance to radicalize and raise a weapon against you.
You know that meme about scientific feasibilitiy of depopulating India in 48 hours?
It'a funny because it's true.
>>
>>222369105

Yeah the point is there can't be any half measures. If a village is being treacherous, you have to kill every last one of them and not let word get out that you did. America was full of half measures and hand wringing and that was its flaw.

That might be the funniest irony. All of the seeds of marxist agitation and propaganda that the USSR/China planted in the 1950's/60's is only just now rearing its ugly head enough to be politically and culturally substantial and they are no longer around to capitalize on it lmao. America is, internally, weak, and on the border of its own Weimar showdown between fascist and communist paramilitaries.

Not him, but the thing that really stopped communism was itself, not anything the US did. The USSR stuck to it and collapsed into corruption and economic ruin, China opted to go national socialist instead. Vietnam went communist for a while and that collapsed all on its own, that's just what communism does.

Everything you described happened in spite of this fuckup, not thanks to it.
The US forces ran away from Vietnam in panic. South Vietnam was lost to communists. It wasn't 5D chess.
Protests of commie leftards were more important than the outcome of the war.
The command came up with the dumbest tactics imaginable. They didn't use overwhelming force to crush the enemy in a short time, they didn't rely on local meat shields to exhaust the enemy in longer time, the rotation of soldiers led to a situation where veterans with any experience have been constantly removed from the place and replaced with noobs.
As for the Chinks, everything they did at the time was motivated by fear of getting surrounded by the USSR. Chinese communists made a few decisions in their foreign politics that seem to be strange until you realize they were at odds with Russians.
