History tells me it was the most powerful army in the world that was smoked. But what do I know, I'm not a brainwashed American. 🤷

[–] ralen_jor@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Who's brainwashed? Of course the US lost the war, but when roughly 58,000 American soldiers were killed, and Vietnamese civilian casualties are estimated at around 2 million there's nothing unrealistic about saying civilians got smoked.

We killed 2 millions civilians isn't the flex you think it is buddy.

American soldiers be like : Geez i wonder why civilians are not cooperating with us and instead throwing IED at us. No!!! John died ! I'll kill rape everything that move in this village to avenge you john. Oh, no ! The horrible things i did gave me PTSD ! Sad.... Make a movie about how it affected me please.

It isn't a flex, it's an unfortunate fact. It's not something I'm proud of, it's just a response to you looking for something to point out in my post so you can feel smart and superior. Your criticism didn't make sense because if anything, it implied that the US never killed civilians. I'm done arguing though, you can fuck off now.

First, what ? Am not the same commenter. Either you need glasses or replied too quickly which can happen sometimes.

Second, your comment sounded like bragging which wouldn't be the first time i saw an American do it when told they lost the Vietnam war "Yeah they killed 50.000+ of our soldier but we killed 2 millions civilians so who lost..."

[–] ralen_jor@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, you aren't the same commenter. I did reply to quickly. My bad about that. But no, it wasn't a brag.

[–] jossbo@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I think you're arguing with someone else. They weren't flexing.

You're confusing Kim Jong Un with Kim Jong Il.
