    America is currently being absolutely destroyed by:

    captain oligarch

    captain propaganda (where most of the propaganda is so transparent that any decently educated 13 year old should be able to see through it)

    Horror movie I want to watch, retired Americans go to a Vietnam vacation resort, One dies, accident? they keep enjoying their vacation, they slowly learn that they are not only all vets, but served in Nam, including the massacring of a village. they keep dying, no longer accidents. The resort does nothing to help. police ignore them. Twist at the end is that the whole resort was built where the village stood and all staff (and police) are descendants of survivors.

    Just another 58,000 soldiers in the meat grinder for another two decades and they would have won!

    Who is captain America? Because the guy in the picture is captain Porto Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

    Also, other options to the question: Captain Iran, Captain Afghanistan, Captain China, Captain Putin, captain Kim Yong Un

    Haven't heard that one before. Do you mean Diaper Donny? I know he's amazing at destroying America, but I wouldn't call him a captain tbh. I prefer to call him by his official title, "pedo sex offender and crook Diaper Donny".

    Edit: oh you didn't call him a captain but super villain. I stand corrected.

    It brings back special memories.

    A Puerto Rican girl in HS wrote Portorico as one word on her backpack in whiteout. I've made it a point to make sure I knew how to spell Puerto rico since them and not look like a fucking moron. Nothing against you, just a special memory of an idiot.

    Isn't that a picture of Captain Puerto Rico?

    Fun fact, in one of the what if comic runs Cap goes AWOL and nominally sides with the North Vietnamese. It's balanced out by the fact that in the absolutely worst universe Cap is a cannibal and taught nick fury, the one with the X-men concentration camp not Marvel zombie.

    Captain Canada - Origins

    Last time we fucked with Canada, they burned down the White House.

    When the White House was burned down, there wasn't really a Canada yet. There were multiple different British colonies to the north of the US, but they didn't consider themselves to be a countries at that point in time.

    Also, the burning of the Washington was a response to the American burning of York (now Toronto) a year earlier. That was seen as a war crime, because you didn't torch civilian infrastructure during a war, at least not on purpose. When the British took Washington, they could have burned the whole thing down, but even though they were taking revenge for the Americans burning and looting York, they held back and only burned government buildings.

    He’s hidden in the trees, Steve. You’ll never see him coming.

    Technically, Captain Britain is 1-1 if you count the War of 1812 as a British victory.

    Captain Vietnam aka Anh Hung

    For real though, the actual Captain America superhero is pretty vulnerable. He took Super Soldier Serum so he's stronger than regular people. But, he couldn't beat the Hulk, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Ultron, Thanos, etc. in a one-on-one fight.

    Even when the war happened before I was born it doesn't feel like "history" to me. Maybe because of all the movies that revolve around it.

    Unfortunately although not in Vietnam in the majority of his comics they did the cowardly thing and avoided the subject altogether.
