The more I learn about the Vietnam War, the less and less sympathy I have for its veterans. I'm at the point of "They weren't actually spat on, but they should have been. Probably flayed."
Unless you deserted, mutinied, or defected, you're on par with the Wehrmacht at best and more likely to have been the SS at worst.
I really was and I'm also thinking it's why so many Vietnam vets had PTSD. The nazis had the same problem when they were carrying out massacres before they built industrial murder camps.
meanwhile they slipped in "oh by the way you don't need to see a rifle when you're tallying up your score!" which is just stepping diagonally into regular old genocide

How the IOF is conducting itself in Gaza is reasonable approximation for how the US military conducted itself in Vietnam.
I have plenty of sympathy for Vietnam War veterans.

The ones who fought against the imperialist pigs, that is.
It was a genocidal war in my view.

The US literally thought they could win the war by just slaughtering their way to a better KDR.
