You're forgetting Vietnam
which they also lost
everyone pokes fun at america for losing vietnam, except maybe canada
because we're the nice friend
just saying
i dont know why you seem to think of things in black and white
iraq was defeated in seconds
@What Would Jack Conte Do? that's because the Canucks remember Gallipoli.
oh suddenly there's context!
after that it was just trying to support the puppet government
suddenly, nuance applies
theres always context you just have to think about it from different angles
Yeah, the USA fucking YEETED the Iraqi military with literally no difficulty
🤷
vietnam was a failure inasmuch as protecting our ally was a failure
Things like Vietnam are quite worrying portents for place like London tbh. Because there are no drawn battlelines. The people who want to kill you could live across the road, and you'd never even know. How do you fight such urban warfare without racial profiling?
but canucks weren't really at gallipoli, they were at paschendael which they won ^^
as an aside
urban war
far worse
than jungle warfare
urban warfare
true urban warfare
the likes of which has never been seen
I understand your point, but I think you skipped a good part of mine.
would involve mass starvation
hundreds of thousands gunned down
perhaps building collapses killing more
every street turns into a killzone
yeah sieges
no one can run away and no one has supplies
You can't just collapse buildings on civilians.
you can
you just
collapse
a building
boom
done
there is no magical force preventing you from doing so
