Calling all boomers

[The Duke]

The traitors were the politicians who got us into Vietnam in the first place. The domino effect, hysteria about communism. Well the commies won and the sun still came up the next morning. Ain't we still in Iraq over lies about mushrooms clouds? What happens the next time some asshole wants to go to war and nobody shows up?

You're not wrong. Jane Fonda is just as bad as they are, though.

Vietnam is better off under Communism than under French Colonial rule

We killed 2 million to find out

No she ain't. She never was in any position to send anybody over there

 

[rightwinger]

No she ain't. She never was in any position to send anybody over there

Fonda never killed anyone and she was right about the war

Those who advocated for the war and spread misinformation killed almost 60,000

Leftists siding with mass murders. No surpirse there.

That war. like all wars, damaged our national psyche and created scars that still haunt us. To those too young to remember or didn't serve then it was less than 20 years after WW2, and there were still a lot of WW2 vets in and out of service and in your neighborhood. It was still uncouth to even question the military and even more we still believed the media. It was a bad war for all the wrong reasons, and people began to realize it. To rationalize killing people you first demonize and trivialize them, and that's what we did to the Vietnamese. We turned into the monsters that we claimed to be fighting, and once it started we were led by people that were incapable of telling the truth much less admit they were wrong. LBJ ended up a psychotic mess on his ranch because of all the evil he had done in his life, and Robert McMamara regretted his part, among with Kissinger, who continued chasing his own demons. I am not sure that this failure will not be repeated. How Robert McNamara Came to Regret the War He Escalated.

Vietnam has not engaged in mass murder

That country suffered under French rule and US occupation
For the last 50 years they have had peace

Yes! We should all support the criminal State no matter what.

Heil Hitler!!!!

 

[Deadstick]

I am already where I came from.,

I have been to Russia. It's a beautiful place wasted on those who live there permanently.

Are you where you came from? where do your ancestors come from? Russians have socks older than your country and roots going back centuries same as i have in England.

Only by the lunatic War pigs.

But people never learn, look at all the wars the US has engaged in since Vietnam and many of the herd are ok with it.

If one considers one party dictatorship piece. Two wrongs do not make a right. Then again leftists never understood that.

Dumb!

No, I consider communism evil and that has been proven over the years by all the dead bodies left in its wake.

My ancestors were here when Mycenae became great.

Sure you do. Yet somehow you’re completely unaware of all those murdered by the government you slavishly and ignorantly support unconditionally.

Communism is just an economic and political system, like capitalism. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and would probably work in ideal conditions. Communism stifles incentive and eliminates personal responsibility, so there are no real reasons to produce. Capitalism stimulates competition which also introduces a lot of corruption in order to maximize profits. Woke capitalism is sort of a mandated hybrid, maybe well meaning but doomed to fail. Either would work in a perfect world, but we have to live in a real world with real but far from perfect men.
