The finns loses in 1940 but managed to trick everyone that they are the good side, meanwhile the vietnamese and ACTUAL Badasses beat the crap out of the Statesian imperialist, but its the STATESIANS that is more glorified despite LOOSING the War.

Maybe the vietnamese are yellow, uncivilized, non-blonde hair, Non-blue eyes Savages. while finns are wholesome civilized against evil mongol hordes /s

In American media, Vietnam and its war with the USA gets a lot more attention than Finland's Winter War. The Vietnam War is also the war that gets depicted as being a worthless imperialist war where Americans weren't a positive force and pushed a part of its nation's youth to the meat grinder.

The story is typically told from the American side, but what can you expect from the side making the movies?
