Also the viet Cong basically almost fell apart (if I remember correctly) after they were not held to disciplin and ended up slaughtering vietnamese natives, leading to people simply deserting or even turning on the army itself. Breakdown of order is a natural result of a lack of codified conduct
I've never heard of that happening to the VC but I may be misinformed
It was something that we were tought in school as one of the most major defeats of the VC, they literally took back some city, and then disciplin just broke down adn shit got out of control, after that it was all downhill
Can you remember what town they took?
I've searched for the "Viet Cong fell apart" and all I get is a documentary episode that documents something in the late sixties so I doubt that's when it happened
no idea, it was a massacre or something, it was apparently a big event
i cant remember tho because its been some 5 years
It was a major victory for the VC i remember that much
however there were also mass executions or something like that
QOTD: With only 57 days until the midterm elections(may god have mercy on you if haven't registered yet, for I will have none), how many Senate Seats and How many House Seats should we expect to have in the 116th Congress, with a worst case scenario, your predicted scenario and the best case scenario? <@&479643036951904267>
Use this website to visualize your predictions
For the Senate, this is my worst case scenario:
This is my predicted scenario: http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/lV19A8
This is the best case scenario: http://www.270towin.com/2018-senate-election/8rkrjl
<@&479643036951904267> You don't need to use a house map if you don't want to, just give a number. (Currently, we have 237 House seats, there are 5 vacancies and the Dems have 193 House Seats)
I like the one where there's a libertarian state
it'll go to 215/220 probably
I think the GOP will have 231 and the dems 207
Once the 2020 comes, I think the GOP will will gain at least 5-10 seats. They could have 15 or more if the Democrats have a weak candidate
there's no way the gop only loses 6 seats
it'll be at least like 20
@21tagtmeiern The GOP could lose the house but I think they have a chance of keeping it. The blue wave narrative is intended to discourage the right from voting
they definitely have a chance
especially cause the democratic party is poorly managed
@21tagtmeiern I'm in a discord server which is dedicated to a red storm in 2018. We analyze primaries, every poll that comes out, past election cycles and demographic data
The link is at the bottom of this webpage
best case scenario is 243/192
worst case is 212/213
QOTD: How many Americans are left with at least 75% ancestry from one region, in your opinion?(ex-75% British, 75% French, 75% Italian, etc)
Also, how many founding stock Americans are left in your opinion?
<@&479643036951904267>
Oof
10 percent or less I would say
If we are talking about direct British ancestory
Too few
tfw southern and eastern euros replaced all the anglos
Mfw the Eternal Saxon
Anglo pride America wide
10%
That is impossible to know
hmmm, if we take whites only and make them out to be the say "core" of this thought experiment then I'd say -> some 60% possibly more but its unlikely. I dont think inter ethnic mixing has gone that deep, generally speaking if you put one colony in one territory and they are ethnicy X do the same somewher eelse, they will only ix at the boarder and mixing shouldnt reach deep into th eheart of the territory. As such we get some 10% OF each group X & Y mixing producing XY along the boarder.
However for the US? I cant be certain but it would be really interesting and enlightening to see how this plays out.
