Anybody got a good video about Vietnam?

Not that I know of

Turns out though that the Union people weren't always the nicest people like we act like they were. At the beginning of the Civil War in Philadelphia, people who didn't have American flags in front of their homes were chased through the streets and threatened as people labeled them as "southeen sympathizers."

Who knew war can bring out evil of humanity huh

True, lol. Still, we're always told that Union good, Confederate bad and turns out the Union peeps weren't exactly the angels we pretend they were

They also flip flopped right when the war started, so basically the moment the war began they went from "Aww poor south" to "Did I hear you speak nice about someone living down in that pathetic hellhole of an area?"

Yeah I understand both union and southern armies had bad people in them

Which is why we should punish those who commit war crimes

^

I can't remember what side did this war crime but one of the sides came into a house and raped a women.

War is truly fucked

That's not just war, sadly. That's anytime one side has the opportunity to brutalize the other. That act is a horribly common theme throughout history.

Yeah I know

Id say it was the North, as Sherman's march to the sea was ripe with raping a pillaging

But isn't it funny how as humans we tend to gravitate towards negativity

I mean it ain't funny but yeah

Which is why being religious more so Christian is really good

I ain't religious that much but I tend to think Christianity is good

A good general is one that tries to mitigate damage to civilians as well as his own men and to the enemies while still winning the battle
A poor cowardly general cares not for the men under his command and will attack the defenseless and proclaim victory when a thousand of his own lay in their own blood

Yep i agree but some wars wouldn't have ended without blood shed of the innocent

Like ww2

It's a bad thing but sometimes I think it needs to happen

True, but i only see the attacking of innocents as a cowardly move that should ever only be done if there are no other options

I do too

I don't like it lol

Sherman was pretty bloody

He was a devil, and one id personally want to shoot if he were standin in front of me now

How long do you think the war would have dragged on if he didn't cut down the south?

I don't agree with the methods he did but the war could have dragged on so idk

Years more, but frankly the Union wasnt on a much better footing than the South, as they couldnt really sustian themselves for long without southern crop

Yeah then union had a lot of material the south had a lot of army schools lol

Wasn't it like the half of army academy's in the south?

Over half of the Unions best generals went to the South

Oh I know the south had better trained soldiers and men

Even with less men and more crude weapons, the Southern army could lay waste to a score of Union blues

Yeah the union had the means of production and could last longer than the south

ASOIAF-based opinion; no human is truly good or evil. They will always have a mix of both, one way or the other.

I agree humans are complex

The south were also more determined. They were fighting for their way of life even if it was wrong

Yeah I know

But generally I'm happy the union won lol
