Im not saying they got wrecked
they lost
thats my argument
and they did
It's a fact
We lost
yep
Objective truth
Also a fact
Marx would be proud
We couldve crushed them
I mean shit we could have just nuked the country
but ya know
we didnt
Ho Chi Minh would be proud but he died before the war ended
I actually never knew that
damn that shitty
Ikr
Moses status
Well we bombed Japan didnt we
Vo Nguyen Giap took power after him I think
Yeah but its hard to justify nukes to a populaton
Japan was fighting a largely conventional war
We got away with it in japan because it was the first time
the next time will be fucking nuts
Good point amos
Not to mention its debatable if it was actually the nukes
It probably
was
Well
that and the looming US-USSR invasion
Many people theorize (and I agree) that it was the threat of the USSR killing Hirohito
During an invaison
*invasion
It was a combination of allied forces moving into China, the loss of Germany and italy
And 2 big hot sweaty bois
It was just the nukes + possibility of dead emperor + allies in China + all alone
I guess my point is that even though we didnt accomplish the goal of stopping the commies hold on the area the reason we didnt was entirely political and is not a reflection on the power of the American military or vietnamese military
Hitler would've stopped the commies
But they won
