The Viet Cong were no angels. They killed my grandpa, who was affectionately known as the Kansas Kid Killer. They wiped out his whole unit, the Easterner Exterminators.

Have these Vietmanese people no shame?

    Guys I went to a revolutionary war museum in America and it was nothing but blatant anti-English propaganda! Heavily lacking in nuance, no talk of the bad things Americans did to the crown.

    Great part about this comparison is the self-mythologizing about the Revolutionary War about how our brilliant minutemen were hiding in trees and ambushing British soldiers.

    I have strong feelings about this but they are inexpressabale.

    Most propagandized people on the planet.

    I think I'm entering a Joker-ified era and feeling some grotesque glee at seeing these people flail and whine as they are forced to confront the objective evil of the US colonial empire.

    In the Netflix series, Ken Burns says the war was ”begun in good faith by decent people, out of fateful misunderstandings”, and aren't both sides to blame, really? A much more balanced view.

    I thought that documentary made the Americans look like disgusting monsters who kill for fun and it was still too kind to them.

    If only, the documentary left out Agent Orange completely. Regular massacres by US troops received exactly zero mention. But a lot of time was wasted of crying how the war divided the american public, with forder anti-war protesters crying how bad they were to their ghoulish neighbours.

    "The Vietnamese don't understand anything that we did to their country, but I, a white westerner afraid to leave my house because of news propaganda designed to manipulate, understand literally everything better than they do. This is why you should do what I say and watch a Netflix show about it instead"

    The people leaving these negative reviews should have a flachette volley dropped over their suburban ranch-style homes.

    Looking at the man in the cage and the Agent Orange pictures, if you see this and cry 'one sided' you have no soul.

    Maybe if they put pictures of the soldiers who accidentally AO'd themselves instead of civillian families it'd be less biased thinkin-lenin

    Yeah I remember when I watched Red Dawn all I could think was this is just American propaganda to slander all the invading Russian/DPRK soldiers as war criminals; Yes I agree some troops committed war crimes in America, but not all those Americans were poor, innocent people. They need to show both sides. Don't bother going over there, just watch the Russian show instead.

I don't- What year is it??" - American boomer, brain disintegrating in real time from a combination of Fox News, Agent Orange, long COVID, leaded gasoline and suppressed guilt.
