Its more like going to the rapist who took the rape baby after the rape and saying that they really shouldn't have raped that person and though the issue with stealing the rape baby is bad a good solution would have been to not rape.

If America didn't invade, no orphans. Really weird you'de equate not invading Vietnam with raping a person

Edit: to clarify, no, the other person didn't say "just don't get raped" or the equivalent. The analogy was wrong. This is my point

A solution to a problem can't be "travel back in time and prevent yourself from being in this situation" that's not a solution, it's pointing out the obvious source of the problem.

I agree, but that person did not say "just don't get raped." The analogy doesn't work, and is weird to say while being destructive to the conversation.

That comment I replied to made this equivalancy which is table flipping, fuck you I'm going to paint you in the worst light, type behavior.

No, the guy didn't say "just don't get raped" he said "we shouldn't have been raping"

Ok, solution wasn't the proper word, the commenter was talking morality. Taking the babies was wrong and America shouldn't have done it, nor should they have gotten involved afterwards.

Vietnam was at war before the USA got involved, it would have just been a one sided slaughter by the North.
