lol holy fuck I hope no one takes this seriously, because Vietnam was fucking hell for the soldiers. No one thought it was awesome except some conservative Nixon supporting fucks who didn't care because they didn't have their 16 year old get drafted.

I do think its funny that people think the drone war future is one in which humans aren't getting killed instead of where where humans can't even fight back.
Go watch ANY footage of the war in Ukraine and think about swarms of those drones working their way down your street, because that is what it looks like.

Didn't some country try to develop a chemical agent that would turn the enemy gay? 🤔

Nerds ruined war.
The 'Fortunate Sons' are the rich ones with connections who didn't have to go to war. They got it backwards.

The war version of Zizek's "my chatbot fucks your chatbot, we get sex out of the way and we can discuss philosophy".
Do you want "Warhammer 40000: in the grim darkness of the future there is only war"?
Because that is how you get "Warhammer 40000: in the grim darkness of the future there is only war".

Nothing gets the murder juices flowing like being forced into a hot, humid environment you never thought about until getting drafted.
Anyone who thinks America were the good guys in Vietnam is full on fucking stupid.
America who faked an attack on themselves (Gulf of Tonkin incident) to get into a war, start loosing and so used chemical weapons and random attacks on women and children. Then continuing to lose Richard Nixon decided to extend the war crimes and deaths several years in order to run an illegal and undeclared war against Laos and Cambodia - allowing Pol Pot and the Kymer Rouge to get into power off the millitarism and anti-American sentiment the wars created.
Eventually when the American media and students got angry enough and the war dead and massive extent of war crimes, and illegal actions of Nixon got too much, America finally decided to accept their losses and just leave. Leaving Pol Pot to commit his own extremist crimes against humanity.
Ultimately Vietnam had to then go to war with their neighbors in order to stop Pol Pot's war cimes and genocides. Vietnam cleaned up America's mess.
All because America was afraid of Socialism.
The fucking "good guys", spraying agent orange and napalm on children.

I watched this video of non-secular figures addressing this very topic - probably 10+ years old. How even the advent of the modern day guns or even just the hand guns are just cruel. It was an interesting none the less.
Which just makes the "warrior ethos" talk that much hilarious while also concerning.
Since 2020
Oh, sweet summer child.
