Yeesh. I was talking to my friend about his service yesterday and it went into how many people he knew that committed suicide while he was in. Shit was fucked. He said youd see someone one day and then the next day they were just dead, no explanation, no memorial, no nothing. Just expected to work through it.

And he's a part of a FB group with his unit to keep in touch but it's basically just to let everyone know when someone dies or commits suicide.

Wait, genocide was committed because the US lost the war? As in we could have prevented that if we had won? So does that mean Vietnam was a just war after all and that we were simply fighting for a lost cause?

Yea Vietnam was a just war. We just fucked it up is all

Vietnam was in no way a just war

We were fighting to keep Vietnam free. Yes. It was. Saying otherwise is just communist propaganda

The origonal reason we first went there was the government of Vietnam invited us a s asked us to save them

I cant believe youre referring to the obviously engineered invitation. America started the war with the intention of splitting the country in two to support American interests.

The country was already split in two, with the condition that an election would be held to reunite it. The South, with American backing, cancelled the election because it was obvious that Ho Chi Minh would win the vote

Because after the war, there was a genocide. That means the winners were evil and we should have stopped them

I like how I said literally weeks ago that I was suspicious of all the nominally right wing people who voiced support for buttgag and Zikten has interpreted this as me saying he is backed by the alt right and keeps bringing it up lmfao

the reality VS the romanticized image

that's why I don't understand this ass backward concept of "patriotism" that many of these government shills have.

using other people's children for conquest in the modern world to murder in the name of somebody else's interest, then not caring for their needs despite this insane military budget that we can never get a statement on.

there are homeless military vets begging high school kids for change in the streets, but the fake outrage over kneeling athletes and whistleblowers are more offensive. somehow.

Vietnam was a just war, just fought inappropriately on many different levels. Everything from waging war without a formal declaration, to the secret operations taking place in sovereign states, to using a draft to take people that were unwilling to fight, to the basic strategy used of lets just kill everyone until we win, not to mention, it coinciding with the most divisive time in our history (Civil Rights movements, etc etc). None of it was done correctly. Not to mention the Vietnamese people that we were supporting not really even knowing or caring for the difference between Communism and Capitalism.

Point being, it was a shit show, that couldve been avoided if appropriate measures were taken from the beginning. You cant say knowing what we know now the war was unjust when today weve seen what has become of those Communist and Soviet states and the basic human rights issues theyve caused. You seriously cant argue let the North Koreans and Soviets do what they want with Vietnam when weve seen whats come of those countries.

That's a pretty bogus reason to go to war, but I like the sound of it a lot better than genocide.
