Otherwise known as: "That day the US government allowed a bunch of chuds into the capitol building for some dumb reason, I dunno, probably to justify increased security or something."

And, it goes without saying, but to say "America won WW2" is pretty charitable. Like, it's basically a participation award.

    Pretty much. But that being said you can still see a level of operational coherency that you just don’t see in the post WW2 era for the US. Like in general you could believe that the average GI involved in WW2 understood what they were doing and what their objective was. But that just doesn’t exist in wars like Vietnam or the GWOT. Like you can watch interviews with people involved in those conflicts and they could not discern why they were being told to hold this hill or that village past the point of they were ordered to do so. It’s been a running theme I’ve noticed and I think that mentality has made its way through to how the average chud thinks about war and how to “win”. That’s why I think the Jan 6th people acted the way they did pretty much.
