Monthly Neurodiverse Megathread and Monthly ND Venting Thread :Care-Comrade:

On one hand, he killed loads and loads of slavers, and helped to bring down their extremely brutal empire by aiding a slave rebellion. On the other hand, he also killed a bunch of people who probably didn't need to be, to the point that the mer describe as the leader of a Elven Pogrom, and he also killed a bunch of Khajiit who weren't even doing anything because he mistook them for elves.

He was also a gay insane cyborg from the future with a Mega-Man style arm cannon, and I'm not sure if his homocidal tendencies inspired from his Shezzar-Akatosh Duality Madness make him 100% responsible for his own actions.

(I know this rant doesn't really apply to anyone here, mostly self-described history nerds on, like, reddit, but still.)

I mean, it's not like the US moved into a Vietnam totally devoid of any, like, veteran troops, military materiel, fortifications, or an effective command structure- all of which NVA and Viet Cong forces would demonstrate in spades during the Second Indochina War- sorry, the Vietnam War.

And that leads to another point- are any of these people who browse and post on are slash historymemes aware of the over seven year long war the French fought and lost, or even the resistance the Viet Minh displayed against the Japanese during World War II? Bet not. Even more, the fact that Vietnam, only three years after reunification, invaded and stomped out the Khmer Rouge, another CIA puppet?

Anyway, back on track- the NVA was, in all the ways that matter, a highly effective and adaptable that beat back both France and the US, no mean feat, so the fact that all their victories are popularly attributed to "muh human wave guerrillas" instead of their successful use of operational and strategic planning, to say nothing of their frankly astoundingly effectiveness of applying logistics ( Ho Chi Minh Trail, anyone? ) just kinda torques me, is all. Frankly, I think Vo Nguyen Giap, at least, should be considered a prime case study of a general who knew the value and power of logistics, and at the very least ought to be acknowledged as one of the great generals of history, certainly greater than the Americans' and French's' leadership.
