is he suppose to be the bad guy here? he's a fucking patriot goddamn it.
Ken Burns' Vietnam
>is he suppose to be the bad guy here
obviously not. even fucking mel gibson is bright enough to make his role in the movie say that they themselves are the invaders, while the vietnamese were literal patriots defending their homes
He is in no way the bad guy, but he's got some serious psychopath vibes coming off him. He's always got a little smile on the verge of creeping into his expression. Dude's a fucking warriors, though.
His actions were justified but I think he enjoyed killing those GIs a bit too much
No. He was just defending his country from a hostile invasion.
he's the bad guy but that's what you need to win a war, he's the villain vietnam needed
The entire point of the doc was that there was no clear good guy/bad guy in the conflict

you'd enjoy it too
You would've too if they had killed your whole family
No, he's not suppose to be made out to be the bad guy. But of course if you weren't a brainlet, you'd also realize that none of Ken Burn's work is suppose to be an endorsement of murder no matter whose side you were on.
I never understood why they didn't treat draftees more nicely.
Imagine being taken from your home, thrown in a training camp, then being marched off, to fight, and likely to die on the opposite side of the world.
Just how many people did like the fat donut guy in Full Metal Jacket and violently snapped?
How could you dodge the draft if you were a poor amerimutt? Go innawoods? Become an alcoholic, purposely break your own leg or something?
it's almost like liberal leftists are retarded cunts since ever
>retard thinks First Blood was a documentary
Most combat troops volunteered for service and US presence in Vietnam was overwhelmingly tolerated/supported by the general public for as long as it lasted. Outside of a few isolated incidents, returning troops were not harassed or discriminated against in any significant capacity and you were more likely to be assaulted if you were anti-war than pro-war. The US didn't withdraw because of public opinion, but because it realised it would have to reduce the entire region into a lifeless plane of glass to "win", which would have defeated the entire purpose of securing markets and resources.
break your arm
Nice cope aussie cunt.
Because Americans prefer rioting against one another rather than the fatcats in the corporations and government
It aint me,
It aint me
pretending to be either crazy is the safest way to go
I recall reading something an aging hippy wrote about the war protests back then - they considered it the soldier's moral duty to refuse to fight, get thrown in prison, and take the punishment for not fighting, simply because they thought they should. Typical liberal selfishness - THEY don't have to go to prison, or have a dishonorable discharge after the war. And, they were talking about how useful it would be to attack/shun the soldiers, so they'd want to rebel and go against orders, shit like that. It was fucked up shit.
Stop drinking the Boomer-Ade.
I wanted to wrote either crazy or retarded, but I guess as long as you can barely follow orders you'll be fine cannon fodder like everybody else
At least Americans nowadays finally realise they were the bad guys in Vietnam. How long before they realise they were the bad guys in Iraq and Afghanistan as well?
idk man, nobody except boomers and neocons think we're good guys in middle east
The whole vietnam thing was a grand misunderstanding. Americans wanted to kill communists and they thought it was the vietcong, the vietcong thought they were being invaded so they wanted to kill Americans. Did this film show when McNamarra finally met with the vietnam generals decades later?
Long story short, Russians bamboozled America.
It's quickly happening, I still see some old people going on about "nahn elayvun" ever so often though
ARVN are the real patriots all commies must burn
>thought they were being invaded
>thought
This is your brain on 56%
>How long before they realise they were the bad guys in Iraq and Afghanistan as well?
That happened the moment they admitted there were no WMDs and it was all a prank
The generals said so themselves. They ate the imperialistpill.
They were objectively being invaded and bombed
The way you post it’s almost like you won the war
English isn't my first language so I'm probably wrong here but I thought invasion and eradication are different.
Did you skip the entire first two eps or something?
it's actually all France's fault because they were still assblasted for Dien Bien Phu, so USA didn't help Vietnamese after assassinating Dien (because France was le greatest alleuy at that time) even though they basically begged for it, so instead EVIL COMMUNISTS aided them and that was the beginning of the end
Ho Chi Minh was even OSS asset who helped USA btfo Japs during WW2, they had great relationship with USA
fucking frogs I swear
Most normie burgers are still delusional about both Afghanistan and Iraq.
>No WMDs? But Saddam was evil!
>We destroyed Afghanistan and created tens of thousands of new enemies while searching for a few dozen enemies? Worth, because muh 9/11
The saddest thing are veterans who risked their lives for months or even years at a time. I can sort of understand them refusing to admit that it was all for nothing as a coping mechanism, but eventually it has to hit them that they witnessed their friends die, risked their lives and have to live with PTSD for the rest of their lives for absolutely nothing. I guess that's why their suicide rates are so high.
>no clear bad guy
lmao
it wasn't the hippies & working class that treated the returning soldiers badly, it was the middle & upper class who treated them like lepers and refused to give them work after they got back.
Do you think those massive protests that included hundreds if not thousands of returned soldiers throwing their medals away would have happened if the anti-war movement hated the soldiers?
Saddam had already used wmds multiple times against Iran, Kurds, and their own citizens. The US didn't really need to find some wmd buried in the desert to have a viable reason for regime change.
The irony of it all is that these people who claim that America shouldn't be enforcing international laws will REEEE into the sky about Trump withdrawing American support from international law enforcement organizations like the UN or NATO. Leftists are just sad, pathetic people.
move to canada.
>the land of the free
>except if you don't want to fight in a war against people who never could ever threaten American territory, on behalf of a corrupt south vietnamese dictatorship
>then you go to jail or have to flee the country
Cold war was fuckin weird dude
They're already justifying an invasion that will kill millions more people in Iran.
>american veteran: suffers from ptsd, american public hates him, full of resentment
>viet cong veteran: reminisces about old times in the company of friends, considered a national hero
The worst part about the Anti-Iraq War movement is that they weren't even opposed to it on the grounds that Judith Miller and Colin Powell lied through their fucking teeth about "mobile nuclear development facilities," or that the Torah shouldn't be our foreign policy, but literally because they wanted to own Bush. It boggles the fucking mind dude, I was a libertarian at the time and that realization is really what made me realize that there is literally no reconciliation with these people.
You want to know what the absolute fucking irony is, now that Iran is your main adversary in the ME?
The fact that even after wasting trillions of dollars and losing thousand of soldiers lives to topple Saddam from his throne and trying to establish a puppet government of your own, the Iranians swooped in when you grew tired and now have vastly more influence on Iraqi politics, and Iraq has basically turned into an Iranian satellite state.
So not only did you kill hundreds of thousands of ordinary people for absolutely nothing. But you killed them to make the situation in the ME for you, and your lapdog or masters (depending on who you ask) Israel, a hundred times worse.
Good fucking job.
Good Guys:
>Viet Minh
>North Vietnam
>Southern Vietnamese soldiers
>Russia
Bad Guys:

Neocons should be fucking hanged. John Bolton is the most bloodthirsty, sociopathic piece of shit the ever disgrace this country. I've never seen someone so readily gargle jew cock as him, it's disgusting.

Trump is trying to one up him on that.
>If you refuse people will think that you're a coward and you will go to jail

Please don't remind me, I've already taken too many blackpills this week.
>>plucky gang of misfits fights them off to win their freedom
Vietnam would unironically be better off today if they surrendered to US interests.
Not sure if delusional or larping.
>At least Americans nowadays finally realise they were the bad guys in Vietnam. How long before they realise they were the bad guys in Iraq and Afghanistan as well?
How can you possibly say a bunch of mass murdering communists and a bunch of radical muslims are the good guys?
Can't you just say there were NO good guys and everyone in these situations is bad?
Disagree there. I have no love for socialism/communism, but turning Vietnam into some consumerist dystopia would leave them just as bad as they are now.
USSR is always the bad guy.
Oh, and not to mention that the destabilization of the ME also destabilized Western Europe (NATO), by proxy by legitimizing the waves of millions of asylum seekers.
So not only did you shoot yourself in the foot. You shot Israels foot. And then you shot every ally you have in NATO in the foot.
We can rationalize and claim that the US was playing some sort of 4D chess, or we can read the literature written by the decision makers years after the fact, and understand that everything they did was just a giant fuckup due to incompetence and corporations yearn to increase their profit margins.
Mcnamara is pretty clearly a villain.
I know right, they might end up like Switzerland or something and their workers might have extremely high living standards.
I'm glad that didn't happen and they're poor as fuck now lmao
Anyone who fights The Eternal Gringo is painted as a bad guy
Just the big guy.
They would be like Japan or South Korea.
How the fuck is this bad?
inb4 muh suicide rate and other non-arguments
based consumerist bro, i'll donate my paycheck to mcdonalds in your name
You Americans sure love to talk about the freedom to choose.
Except when it comes to anyone else. You believe killing millions is justified to push your choices upon the populations of other countries. Get fucked.
In your desire to seem enlightened or above the politics around you've completely misunderstood the situation. There was no plan to do anything in particular in the ME other than to line the pockets of those who supplied and stole from the war effort. I wish it were incompetence but at the end of the day the war on terror is just run of the mill corruption, the lack of results is due to aimlessness and a distinct lack of urgency, rather than the reverse as you suggest.
>consumerist REEEEEEE
Still no argument for why Vietnam is somehow better off than South Korea or Japan.
South Korea is just a soulless hypercapitalist, consumerist dystopia. Your GDP isn't the best metric of how well off your country is.
the USA is going to have the shittiest 'empire' ever
even worse than the jap
South Korea is clearly much better off than a shithole like Vietnam, you have no argument here.
Or they'd just be another shithole satellite like the Philippines
The Vietnamese thought otherwise. This is what tyrants and bullies never understand. You can't make others choices for them
It isn't economically wise, but it is morally superior and doesn't have a culture as diluted as it is in East Asia.
Reminder that this guy never told stories about fighting the americans but rather the ARVN.
>but it is morally superior
You’ll be colonized too, don’t worry.
See where I said what you just said.
Regardless, their motivations are irrelevant to what I initially said. I was talking about the result of the decision to topple Saddam, to a guy who seemed to believe that invading was the correct geopolitical choice.
South Korea only reached it current form after they got rid of the US backed dictator in the 80s. Laughable to suggest the US is responsible for their prosperity
We're pretty bad at empire but our own country is bigger and better than most empires in human history. It is also literally impossible to defeat us at home. No other empire can claim this.
What does this reaction image convey? You being utterly baffled by my statement?
why hasn't america declared vietnam war 2 yet and freed them?
>based consumerist bro
I know right.
I'll enjoy my high living standards and having fun all of the time while you enjoy living in your own filth.
Enjoy.
:^)
>You believe killing millions is justified to push your choices upon the populations of other countries.
I personally don't.
>South Korea is just a soulless hypercapitalist, consumerist dystopia.
TOP KEK
You're just throwing out leftist buzzwords because you can't refute the fact south korea is much better than vietnam and living standards are much higher
kys commie
>Your GDP isn't the best metric of how well off your country is.
I actually agree with this but for different reasons than you.
>Or they'd just be another shithole satellite like the Philippines
No they wouldn't.
If they embraced economic freedom they would become a rich country.
Philippines isn't anything close to economically free.
Don't forget your vasectomy so you don't have to pay for your kids!
Also Kaga never used helicopters.
It doesn't make sense to say the war on terror shot us in the foot when it wasn't the USA but a very small cabal of political and business elite that pushed it through. Why should these individuals care about Europe being overrun? If anything that's just another business opportunity and a means to distract from their illicit dealing.
Why wouldn't he smile? He defending his home from corrupt invading foreigners.
>doesn't have a culture as diluted
what are you talking about
vietnam is a shithole compared to south korea
at least they're both ethnostates though
ANYONE would rather live in SK than vietnam
The point was that economic freedom was responsible for their prosperity, which is empirically true.
>Don't forget your vasectomy so you don't have to pay for your kids!
This has nothing at all to do with anything we're talking about and you have no argument.
Please enjoy your suffering, brainlet.
>can't identity difference between third positionism and communism
Based politically illiterate retard
>not real communism
like pottery
>>can't identity difference between third positionism and communism
Yes I can and frequently do.
TP is just less retarded than communism, it's still retarded though and doesn't increase living standards as much as free markets.
Enjoy your central bank, brainlet.
>economic freedom was responsible for their prosperity
Yes, which was only possible once they got rid of the US backed dictator. Vietnam would have had some Diem style stooge propped up by the Americans, and would have been just as poor until they got rid of him,
The US Senate voted 297 against 133 to invade Iraq. Bibi stood in front of your Congress and talked shit directly to their faces while claiming that if they had listened to him and toppled Saddam earlier, 9/11 wouldn't have happened. This was obviously around the time that the WH was trying to establish an al-Qaeda/Saddam connection.
Just because a small cabal of powerful people had ulterior motives doesn't remove the fact that the invasion was an effort supported by most of Washington as well as the public.
No longer any risk of vietnam becoming part of a chinese empire
>at least they're both ethnostates though
Haha, no. SK is a corporation, like the united states, and massively employs migrant labor. It doesn't give a shit about koreans as in the people. (Koreans don't either).
>This has nothing at all to do with anything we're talking about
Oh yes, it does. You didn't manage to figure that out?
>Yes, which was only possible once they got rid of the US backed dictator.
Good, I don't care.
>Vietnam would have had some Diem style stooge propped up by the Americans
Maybe they would have had a based Pinochet installed.
You don't know.
The people the USA puts in charge widely vary in political ideology.
he spent all his time fighting the ARVN
corrupt for sure but not foreign
Enjoy your free markets importing third world laborers that will tank your labor value, turning thousands of years of history and culture into [Consumer Economic Zone 41-E]
>SK is a corporation
No, it's a country.
lmao look at this:
South korea ethnic population: 96%
Vietnam ethnic population: 85.7%
So much for muh economic freedom causes mass immigration argument lmao
kill yourself commie
At what point did I mention real communism? This is your brain on (((capitalism)))
Bro but I can become part of the 1%!
Maybe someday!
I'm sure I will!
This is why we must keep the government as little as possible, so that it won't interfere with me when I rise!
>Good, I don't care.
Well you should, when the argument is 'Vietnam would have been better if the US had won'. No reason to believe this is true. The Korean miracle only happened in the 80s, nothing to do with American policy
culture isn't as important as prosperity
>96%
now compare to previous decades, especially before 1991 and the influx of CIS migrant labor
>ppl who stone women for being whores are the good guys.
Next you are gonna say nazis were the good guys all along too.
>Enjoy your free markets importing third world laborers
Imagine actually being this stupid.
Free markets and mass immigration have nothing to do with each other and never did.
You just have this strawman in your head because /pol/ told you so.
Countless countries had strong economic freedom at the same time they were ethnic nationalist.
The USA in the 1800s and early 1900s is a good example, so are Sweden during those times before they abandoned it.
Imagine wanting corruption and poverty because you foolishly believe it will stop mass immigration.
Holy shit kill yourself.
based jewbro
They are in Inglorious Basterds

retard lol
Just because you didn't use the word real doesn't mean that isn't what you meant. You aren't fooling anyone.
You could argue the case for iraq but saddam hussein was literally a mass murderer and sadist.
But afganistan?? Do leftist zoomers really forgot about the murder of thousands of their own people?.
Prove me wrong.
>Bro but I can become part of the 1%!
I don't want to be the 1%.
I'm working class and it's a fact of reality that free markets increases economic output which increases my living standards.
Why are you leftists so dumb?
I was simply arguing over which economic policies were better.
>being this butthurt you got proven wrong
Vietnam has 85.7% ethnic population man, come on now.
Just take the L.
That was before the globalization and cheap mass transportation. Now you can import nogs who will work for scraps. Why pay your countryman who demands a good wage when you can outsource?
Ever wondered why NAFTA destroyed american manufacturing?
Prove your personal priority wrong? I can't, it's subjective.
Are you retarded? An economic system that values how much of a profit margin it can make is going to by default bring in labor so businesses won't have to compete for labor, and can rely on dirt cheap labor from the existing serf class. It was the irish back then, and when they ran out of Irish, they passed the Hart Cellar immigration act. Kike.
Shut up you politically illiterate boomer. I'm sure Pragerforce misses you.
t. deracinated bugman who drinks his meals
>That was before the globalization and cheap mass transportation.
Dude lmao millions of europeans risked their lives to come to america on shitty boats.
Anyone could come to america but they didn't because it was fucking illegal and america was an white nationalist nation.
>Now you can import nogs who will work for scraps.
You literally always could.
This can be said of any rich country, even if they aren't even capitalist.
You're basically saying we need to stay poor because if we're rich then third worlders would want to come here.
Then just don't fucking let them in, it's that simple.
You people are dumb as rocks connecting two completely unrelated things.
>Ever wondered why NAFTA destroyed american manufacturing?
Because it's not actual free trade, it's controlled trade.
Did you, by chance read America's immigration charter before 1965?
>is going to by default bring in labor
What if it's illegal because the population isn't brainwashed by leftism and votes for right wing politicians?
Imagine wanting to live in a poor and corrupt shithole just because you foolishly think it will stop immigration.
>t. deracinated bugman who drinks his meals
ad hominem
Want to try to use some logic? Give me one example in human history where people chose culture over economic prosperity and how it helped them in the long run.
>Did you, by chance read America's immigration charter before 1965?
Yes, whites only.
Literally all nations in history choose culture over "economy"
>Because it's not actual free trade, it's controlled trade.
What the hell does this even mean?
North American FREE TRADE Agreement destroyed, for example, automotive industry in the United States, which relocated primarily to Mexico.
I would rather have a strong sense of shared cultural unity instead of a government that imports niggers because the chance of a .25% higher gdp
wrong
Saddam really should have been toppled in the first iraq war when they had an actual reason and the momentum.
The thing is nobody never really knew how things would have turned out.
Ok tranny retard, dilate with your McDragondildo
It’ll take awhile. I mean after all the fbi just got caught trying to get people to commit domestic terrorism and they think they are the good guys
>cant name even ONE example of him being right
>still thinks he is right
lol
Mutt SEETHing ITT.
>What the hell does this even mean?
It's not free trade, there are countless restrictions and quotas.
>North American FREE TRADE Agreement
Just like the PATRIOT act amirite?
>destroyed, for example, automotive industry in the United States, which relocated primarily to Mexico.
massive taxes, regulation, government spending and central banking did that
in my last three posts I have been accused a being a right wing boomer retard and a dilating tranny leftist
You guys have no clue what you are talking about. keep throwing ad hominem around though since we all know you are incapable of a logical argument.
>ppl who stone women for being whores
Sounds based to me
Are you implying that perpetual war isn’t exactly what (((the powers that be))) want?
>thousands of soldiers lives
LMAO
>trillions of dollars
That they are making
>Next you are gonna say nazis were the good guys all along too.
they were though, you fucking kike
Vietnam would be a US-friendly country if the US just listened to Ho Chi Minh for once. He actually wants to cooperate with the americans.
I mean, Vietnam is a US-friendly country now, but there would be one less bloodshed.
>South korea ethnic population: 96%
>Vietnam ethnic population: 85.7%
>why does this tiny country annexed 2 countries the same size as them have a more diverse population
nazis killed more whites than anyone in history
fuck those anti-white pieces of shit
they didn't even believe in IQ tests
>Just how many people did like the fat donut guy in Full Metal Jacket and violently snapped?
Quite a few, not sure how many snapped overseas while fighting but I think the estimate of Vietnam vets who made it back home and then committed suicide is ~300,000
It’s really not though, I suggest traveling to each of them. The Vietnamese are a much happier people.
>>why does this tiny country annexed 2 countries the same size as them have a more diverse population
because they're leftist cucks that love mass immigration
>but it is morally superior
>massive taxes
...that are sustaining the government and the public services...
>regulation
that prevents employee abuse and forces the employer to pay a decent wage... thus they move to Mexico where employee costs are FAR lower and regulation is much less restrictive in regards to employee abuse.
>government spending
excuse me?
>central banking
excuse me?
well duh because life in vietnam was absolute fucking shite before openning the market in 1986
>The Vietnamese are a much happier people.
why do they have a higher homicide rate then?
bad traffic
Homicide rates are related to happniess? I heard brazil is a very happy nation, is it not?
>The Vietnamese are a much happier people.
Whatever you say gook.
The United States will collapse
very happy i'm sure
>gook.
That's korean for 'people'.
>Just how many people did like the fat donut guy in Full Metal Jacket and violently snapped?
The number of fragging incidents skyrocketed during Vietnam
>...that are sustaining the government and the public services...
Yes, the bloated government that has been destroying the economy and decreasing economic production.
>that prevents employee abuse
Wrong, it mostly helps larger companies keep their monopolies by forcing smaller firms to comply with burdensome regulation. Also most labor laws fuck over workers.
>forces the employer to pay a decent wage
TOP KEK
Price controls do not work.
Imagine being dumb enough to think the price of labor is dependent on the greed of the employer and not the labor market itself lmao
>thus they move to Mexico where employee costs are FAR lower
So what dude?
If we didn't have central banking, this would result in much lower prices for things americans buy and would massively increase our living standards.
Without the federal reserve, you could work at mcdonalds and make what a fucking welder or programmer makes today.
>excuse me?
Government spending increases the price of capital and consumer goods and fucks over the economy
You fucking retarded nigger? No one would imgrate to a poor shithole like modern Vietnam. They're diverse because they annexed Champa Kingdom and a part of Khmer Kingdom 200 years ago
This gook has lost his composure!

So colorful... diverse... vibrant...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
There was no 4D chess, it was a reactionary invasion after 9/11 (gotta do something after all) without any sort of post-saddam plan. As others have pointed out in this thread this created a power vacuum which led to various factions trying to take control by force and helping to kill or displace millions of people etc
What a mess
I'm literally a white nationalist.
Enjoy your federal reserve, kike.
>dude we need to stay poor as dirt or else people will want to come here!!
Uhhh, why can't we just prevent from from coming here?
>NO WE CAN'T OKAY, IT'S JUST HOW THINGS WORK GAWWDD!!!

You are a white corporate tool, not a nationalist.
Man I loved that MW2 map
OH NO NO NO NO NO
Literally not an argument. I support a white ethnostate and economic freedom.
It's been done before and was quite successful.
Man you people are so fucking blind and have no actual arguments, you're just as bad as commies.
>trying to interpret Vietnamese demographics as the importation of cheap labor
Why are you so fucking retarded Jesus Christ
The meme that economic freedom leads to mass immigration is false and makes no sense.
Deal with it.

I don't brand myself.
I don't think that completely unlimited free trade is a good thing in the long run.
Is there anything more pathetic than cucks that have no argument against economic freedom and continue to lick boots with their slave mentality?
He was a vicious dictator responsible for the anfal genocide. Doesn't have shit to do with the US invasion of Iraq, but let's not pretend he was a good guy.
False dichotomy perpetuated by pedowood producers and slave traders to foist an abusive economic system with no checks or balances onto people. Culture and prosperity are linked, prosperity flows from culture. The US is a prized investment destination because investors trust its rule of law, especially contract law, as much as because of it’s preferable tax rates. Our respect for law comes from our culture of self rule, not from wannabe college libertarians like you
Nobody wanted Vietnam. The only reason for the war was to deplete fighting age men and make the country softer towards the Immigration Act of 65.

South Korea is a nightmare. Capitalism has completely raped the culture of that country.

Is that why he refused to surrender even when defeat was inevitable and insisted he send as many children to die as possible in a meaningless last resort defense? To uhh, protect German dignity, was it? There's nothing dumber than calling other's ideological slaves while defending the likes of Hitler, who was an actual madman hopped up on crystal meth and bull semen.

I don't care for sports and as much as I loved civil war there is something I like more about interviews with people who lived through the events as opposed to panning over black and white photos while a narrator reads to you.
Blame France for clinging onto their imperial ambitions long after the fat lady sang. Just like how Sarkozy was so gung ho to invade Libya and destabilize the entire middle east and set off the refugee crisis because he wanted to look like a big boi with power and influence.
There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the funniest guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type "DI DI MAU?" and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a disgusting NEET that you actually paid for a Yea Forums pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" Vietcong guy, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your Doritos on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on Yea Forums posting about a gook. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a NEET. A pathetic gookloving NEET. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "DI DI MAU DI DI MAU DI DI MAU." You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.
Forever.
Communists wanted the war, they infiltrated both Democrats and Republicans by that point
Sure thing Schlomo. Seriously though, kys.
>Culture and prosperity are linked
tell that to this guy
>dude jewish conspiracies lmao
>LEAVE KIKES ALOOOOONE
lmao mutt
There was a book investigating if it was true that soldiers were spat on, they only found a few incidents and most of them were by randoms and retards, the anti war SDS used to hold cafes for troops and help deserters.
The army didn't treat them nicely because it was the fucking army lol
>I don't care for sports
Neither do I, but baseball has a diverse history of larger than life characters, many great stories to tell.
>Jews

>Jews
Who's talking about Jews? Nazis ruined Europe.
Man I loved Max Payne 3.
Bullshit. Maybe you think Viets are happier people because South Koreans didn’t worship your mediocre American ass but it really isn’t true.
Anglos ruined Europe. They belong in the chambers alongside the kikes.
The eternal kraut is the enemy of mankind.
No he's not, he's invading a foreign country.
>I mean after all the fbi just got caught trying to get people to commit domestic terrorism and they think they are the good guys

>England
>invaded and annexed three quarters of the world's population
>Germany
>occupied france and poland for a few years
Yeah nah m8
fo you
Dumb Burgers never realized their fucking cigarettes were tipping off Charlie where the fuck they were in the bush. I thought the Marines were supposed to be these fucking God warriors incapable of mistakes? No wonder you Amerifags lost the war. I hope you tell your grandpa what a war criminal he was invading Nam like that.

Yea Forums = The Vidya
oh yep, GERMans
Please make 30 more threads about this exact goddamn question using that same image
Why is always the germans?. Why do they hate nice things.?
Didn't you watch the doc? Ken Burns interview a few of those who drove to Canada and established communities out in the wilderness
stay upsetti amerikanski
People smile when they cope with difficult memories.
youtube.com
americans are subhumans and need to be destroyed ASAP
The doc clearly showed that the warmongers in JFK and Johnson's cabinet were the bad guys. The overarching irony is that after losing the war to prevent the dangers of vietnamese communism, it turned out that vietnamese communism had no real effect on global politics. (besides dabbing on and completely exposing the USA). If they left as soon as they realized the south was incompetent and hopeless literally nothing would have happened (besides the unification of Vietnam)
>while the vietnamese were literal patriots defending their homes
That's what the South Vietnamese were doing against the Northern too.
Dabbing on Saddam was based. The only thing they did wrong was not just declaring war on Islam and initiating WW3.
>corrupt invading foreigners.
His ilk is the one who invaded South Vietnam and then continued to oppress them for decades later.
>>ppl who stone women for being whores are the good guys.
They are.
>Next you are gonna say nazis were the good guys all along too.
They were.
seems pretty based to me
Seething mutt. It’s not too late for God’s mercy; repent.
Based. Anyone who sees two factions in a war and choose to categorize them as simply "good vs bad" is a retard. Simply the winning side will continue its existence. That can be a simple ideology to an independence of peoples.
>difficult memories
Not everyone is as weak-minded the average american G.I.
>muh PTSD
based Le Quan enjoyed BTFO'ing the imperialist pigs and reminisces about it at every opportunity
>seems pretty based to me
Yeah, maybe financially.
>no clear villain
You're either a dumb American who drank the Kool-Aid of US==Always Good (I say this as an American) or you skipped a couple of episodes
this thread summed up in one pic
>mfw
He was a volunteer soldier who won a war. He got to experience the thrill of killing and defeating his enemies.
Americans Nam vets were drafted wagies who got to experience getting shot at in a Jungle for no reason that can be rationally explained to them.
Which us backed dictator in the 80s? Chun Doo hwan? Prior it was park chung hee in the 70s and he took tons of us money in exchange for koreans to be sent to vietnam. Chun doo hwan also lost us backing after he shot at protesters you tard.
>t.gook
Who is the dictator? Name the guy
>shooting innocent people is based
I'm starting to see a correlation between the extreme emotional trauma of circumcision in infants leading to sociopathy and the US being filled with sociopaths.
+30 years after the end of the upcoming Iran conflict, at which point we will learn our lesson and start invading a different region
Yeah that's why they were known for their cowardice (excepting the montagnards of course) and fought harder against their own government than they did against the VC let alone the NVA.
Hitler unironically did nothing wrong
yeah everybody knows about catch 22 retard
Just more leftist brainwashing. I noticed how it painted most the of southerners as incompetent traitors who didn't really believe in their cause. Really subtle there. Fucking leftoids.
