I remember working at a photo development place and being asked by a Vietnam vet to develop some pictures that he had taken during the war. He warned me that the photos were disturbing and to make sure that not too many people saw them.

What I saw was piles of heads, piles of hands, with GIs smiling and posing next to them. Bodies of children and the elderly strew across roads. Just the most horrific shit I had, and have to this day, ever seen. I did not confront him about it when I gave him his pictures back, just thanked him for the warning.

There is no amount of suffering that the veterans of any American war (outside of WWII) can possibly suffer that will equate to even a fraction of the amount of damage they clearly caused and enjoyed causing. Americans are barbarians.

Someone pointed out that the reactions would look a lot different if it said "elderly woman I killed in Florida"

The amount of times I remember hearing Gen X people whine about how mean and “hypocritical” activists were for being big meanies to their Vietnam vet parents

Burn in hell GI, by the standards of every Christian denomination a posthumous confession does not confer absolution

Vietnam Veteran

No, no. Don’t sugarcoat it. Imperial War on the Vietnamese People Veteran.

Just because the mere name Vietnam is enough innuendo for your guilty conscience, doesn’t mean you get to slander the country’s name.

Gene is Simmering in hell

Holy shit, the reddit comments are genuinely radioactive Wow.

he felt bad for invading and killing innocent people you guys, can we stop being angry at him? :(

Standing there like "damn, why does it smell like sulfur and burning shit around this grave"?

As if the "Music From 'The Elder'" album weren't enough of a crime against humanity
