Why are Vietnam vets the only generation of vets who are perpetually whiny depressed losers? Like you never see ww2 vets or Iraq war vets perpetually play the victim and blame all their personal struggles on everyone else

Don't look up GWOT vet suicide rates

It makes sense when you remember they were boomers. They spent the whole war smoking grass, shooting heroin, and getting more confirmed kills of their own officers than enemy soldiers.

Then they came home expecting a hero's welcome like their fathers had gotten and instead they were treated like the imperialist babykillers that they actually were.

You call them "Vietnam vets," I call them "Satan's little pets."

The Vietnam vets thing is a psy op, it was just niggers acting like niggers after civil rights act. The fact that they had been in Vietnam is irrelevant. Rambo does hint at this in the beginning.

I guess its because a lot of Vietnam soldiers were conscripts, people who didnt want to fight in a war, but were forced to. Imagine if you dweebs, who spend most of your days gooning to tranime and bickering about woke, suddenly got called to fight in Iran/Ukraine, yall would come back messed up too. The fact, that the war was unpopular, and that Vietnam won, also had a great impact on the morale of the veterans.

Meanwhile in later wars, with the end of the draft, most of the people who enlist know what they are getting themselves into, they went in so they would be able to kill brown people and make money while doing it. Also, no one likes terrorists, so the GWOT was not so controversial compared to Vietnam.

Read On Killing by Dave Grossman. Basically, the military realized that in WWII, most soldiers had a psychological block against killing and therefore wasted a lot of ammo, a big no no for the Pentagon. To combat this, they psychologically fucked the Vietnam soldiers to attempt get them to kill with no regard to humanity. Hence, the fucked Vietnam War vets.

It's very simple, during WW2 all of the US establishment was pro war and joined together to destroy those who weren't and created a massive multimedia propaganda apparatus to convince the population the war was good. Much of the US entertainment industry was Jewish controlled and/or communist sympathizers so the united struggle with the Soviets against the Nazis was carried by the entire industry in accordance with the government. In the Cold War the Jews and Hollywood were on the Soviet side so only backwards boomers like Marion Morisson were still with the government and they had no power to control discourse anymore. So Vets ended up being villified and bitter.
>>
>>222796341
Most of the so called facts you think you know about US Vietnam war veterans are lies perpetuated by Hollywood. Most of the combat troops were not conscripts and veterans of that era were more successful in civilian life than the average non veteran. Rambo was walking around instead of driving and looking and acting like a bum because he chose to.

Vietnam is the biggest psyop by far in American history. Everyone laughs and says it's proof that America failed to beat "muh poor rice farmers" which is such a Jewish trick.

In reality, America kicked communist Vietnam's ass, but Jewish mindtricks and propaganda coupled with all the retarded ass, mindmelted hippies high on (you guessed it) Jewish-supplied drugs meant that the war was super hated back at home and for political reasons Nixon and then Ford withdrew from the war. Now we have to listen to the smoothest-brained pseuds wax about how the communist peasants of Vietnam, equipped with Russian and Chinese weapons and ammunition and propaganda, defeated the greatest fighting force ever assembled. They did not. Jewish trickery did.

Vietnam was a blend of the civilian population actually seeing what war looked like for the first time, military command looking incredibly incompetent/aimless, and pozzed post 60s hollywood deciding they needed to make hundreds of "war bad, america evil" movies. Thats why the general vibe you get from vietnam was from a counter-cultural "nobody supported it, it was a failure, our soldiers were turned into broken killing machines" perspective.

It did open the door to more sympathy farming from vets though. WW2 vets were drafted, got shot at by Germans or Japanese, went home and continued on with their lives in silence. Boomers in Vietnam were one of the first times where it seemed like they wanted even more respect or sympathy for their service. It still continues into today, ive seen grown ass men with sleeve tattoos crying in their cars on tiktok/instagram because their PTSD medications arent working. I think all the ex-military/CIA podcast content keeps a lot of their bullshit contained (thankfully).

They aren't the only ones, they just get play in the media and a lot of sympathy due to how the Vietnam War hit the cultural zeitgeist.

True suffering was being a Korean War Veteran, particularly if you had bad PTSD because nobody gave a shit since we lost, or it was a draw, or what the fuck ever (I don't even know because they didn't even teach us about it in school)

Every war requires this. We bombed the shit out of everyone in WW2 and no one cared. The problem is that Americans got soft after that and could no longer handle doing what had to be done to win. It's like people calling potentially bombing power plants in Iran war crimes, if we had these standards in WW2 we'd never have attacked anything. The best way to win wars is to kill your enemy, who knew?

The Soviets won the Second World War. American and British bombing had negligible effect until late 44 when the war was well over. In Cietnam the US dropped an even greater load on them to even less effect.

Iraq vets have never seen any close combat, if a rifle shot rang out 2km away in some village they just called in artillery and A10 support to raze it. Meanwhile Vietnam frontline vets had to witness and participated fucked up shit like VC traps, napalm friendly fire or search and destroy. It's not comparable.
