Lol Total War wouldn’t fucking work in that environment

It was a guerrilla war

...

I miss ww2

I agree total war in guerilla enviroments are nuts

You can’t just barrage front lines and charge because front lines barely fucking exist

I do too

I wish Hitler won

whoa

we miss ww2 for different reasons

I miss WW2 because we were allowed to kill nazis

good times

Yes. We were trying to stop commies in the population, which is why we were hardly using a fraction of our power. To say we "lost against farmers" is retarded

If it's not total war. It's just bullshit

Hitler was just trying to stop commies bro

We could have used one battleship and flattened the entire country. Or carpet bombed them until the land was uninhabitable.

>millions and millions of soldiers served
>my dad who lived through it said “everybody knew or was close to someone who’d died”

@PugSlugger We were involed in vietnam because the french were losing control of their colonial empire to communism and we stepped in to eradicate the communists. We tried hard to kill them but we did not because their guerilla tactics eventually won out.

We tried using battleships

“Carpet bombed them” that’s what we fucking did

They don't kill ratholes

It failed

Miserably

The Tet Offensive was brilliant

no matter how you look at it

well coordinated

More bombs were used in Vietnam than WW2

Twice as many if I remember correctly

and set back the South Vietnamese terribly

Politics may have killed the vietnam war but thats because we could have fought forever

Those guerillas were entrenched

its just like the war now

That's because the vietnamese understood blood and soil

>doing bomb strikes on strategic targets
>equal to pulling a tokyo fireboming ww2 style
Ok fucking retards

They know their jungles. They know themselves. Unlike the western Europeans

@Liupold le noble savage maymay

“They understood the land so it was unfair” is a shitty fucking lie because we spent 20 fucking years at war with them we could have learned it by then

I didnt say it was unfair

@Amoviet its almost like we didnt actually lose
