You think that's a lot look at how much the US dropped on countries they weren't even at war with.

America lost Vietnam the same way Britain lost the War of 1812. They came over, beat everyone up, then left.

At this point most americans seen finally leaving Vietnam as a win. It spawned so much media about how tiring and cruel it was, and many are as popular as Forest Gump, Apocalypse now and, even more morbid, Jacob's Ladder. That was one of the first wars that signaled americans that PTSD is a real thing and you can't just get over it.
