2018-06-17 23:46:44 UTC  

Never forget Operation Wandering Soul

2018-06-17 23:46:57 UTC  

gooks made the mistake of bombing pearl harbour

2018-06-17 23:46:58 UTC  

@bentech well kids died left and right

2018-06-17 23:47:02 UTC  

of course theyd want to get out

2018-06-17 23:47:22 UTC  

on what side lol

2018-06-17 23:47:33 UTC  

well both, technically

2018-06-17 23:47:51 UTC  

but america were sending literal 18yo kiddos

2018-06-17 23:48:03 UTC  

Conscripted armies are a mistake

2018-06-17 23:48:14 UTC  

Volunteer armies are going to be better 100% of the time

2018-06-17 23:49:42 UTC  

from what i learnt in history class, jungle chinks had real nasty tactics

2018-06-17 23:49:54 UTC  

Punji stakes smeared with shit, etc

2018-06-17 23:49:59 UTC

I AINT NO FORTUNATE ONE

2018-06-17 23:51:40 UTC  

Can confirm, they had some pretty rudimentary but effective defenses

2018-06-17 23:52:00 UTC  

Especially considering how slowly you'd die if you got trapped

2018-06-17 23:52:14 UTC  

And the lack of a medic meant certain death

2018-06-17 23:52:26 UTC  

Even leaving things like Public opinion and low moral out of the mix, it can't be denied that American tactics and doctrine just weren't prepared for a guerrilla force that hid among its civilians.

2018-06-17 23:52:41 UTC  

this exactly

2018-06-17 23:52:49 UTC  

americans just werent made for the jungle

2018-06-17 23:53:09 UTC  

Yeah, they can't even deal with their concrete jungles

Even leaving things like Public opinion and low moral out of the mix, it can't be denied that Americans just weren't fit for starting a war and not just joining one late

2018-06-17 23:53:31 UTC  

Why didn't the usa just send their nogs only then?

2018-06-17 23:53:36 UTC  

Not that I think that's a bad tactic. When you're at war, you do what you need to do to survive. If you can force a country to fuck off just by making everyone in that country feel guilty about it, more power to ya

2018-06-17 23:56:16 UTC  

"All is fair in love and war", as the saying goes

2018-06-17 23:57:06 UTC  

I impaled ur mum on my shit-smeared stake

2018-06-17 23:57:22 UTC  

i thought you already impaled ur mum on the way out

2018-06-17 23:57:23 UTC  

Last I checked our staircase wasn't ruined, so I doubt that
