You actually said "Younger kids" . Younger is defined as "having lived or existed for only a short time."

Maybe you should learn about Reddings Postulates

"Let us not prepare you for the world you're born into"

A brief history of time didn't come out until 1988. You implying that the ability to break it down, Barney style, is necessary to be smart or to fully understand something?

Sure makes me glad I'm not the only one that thought he said the same thing twice.

Unfortunately/Fortunately that's the audience that lemmy appeals most to. Personally, that's (more or less) what I want from a community

I could have worded that better, my apologies there. The fact that someone stopped it, I think really is a difference.

I never once said anything about the Vietcong being inferior.

I'm done here, but I do suggest you go and do some more reading. Maybe watch Ken Burns Vietnam documentary to get started with.

My Lai was not an ethnic cleansing campaign. It was not directed by the White House or the Pentagon. It was a massacre that had an attempted cover up.

Is it really that hard to understand that something can be illegal, unethical, and immoral, and not be ethnic cleansing?

British colonialist policies during WW2

’m just going to go ahead and assume it’s also a complete mystery to you why the vaunted US military failed so abysmally in Afghanistan, eh?

This discussion is on vietnam, but cool.

What the Nazis did was nothing unique - it has been standard fare for colonialist powers long before WW2 happened, and it was stadard fare for the US both before and during the (so-called) “Cold War.”

Homie, I think you should learn some more about the eastern front. The United States wasn't on an ethnic cleansing campaign in Indochina. The Nazi's were on an ethnic cleansing campaign.

TLDR - “Our Army that now remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having refused combat, murdering their officers, drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near-mutinous.”

Which had had which major defeats associated with it?

At stopping supplies and people from moving south?

So, our goal was genocide? I'm not saying we were the good guys, but clearly we weren't comparable to the fucking Nazis eastern campaign.

You still didn't answer what it meant to break the US military.

What do you mean by "broke"? I'm quite literally in a class on the Vietnam War this semester, writing a paper about how ineffective our policy of bombing an agrarian society that only needed to supply its forces 50 tons of supplies a day.

Please, elaborate.

No. The Vietnamese did not "break" the US military. We got tired of being there, though.

Yep. It took quite a few for the reality of the war to kick in for most people.

I understand, but it is reality.

A payment is the tender of something of value, such as money or its equivalent, by one party to another in exchange for goods or services provided by them, or to fulfill a legal obligation or philanthropy desire.

Double the emissions for 4 times the people? Damn that's pretty efficient in comparison.

It can be brought back. I am still using it on Android 13

I've used it since 2014 on BlackBerry and 2016 on android.
