The finns loses in 1940 but managed to trick everyone that they are the good side, meanwhile the vietnamese and ACTUAL Badasses beat the crap out of the Statesian imperialist, but its the STATESIANS that is more glorified despite LOOSING the War.
Maybe the vietnamese are yellow, uncivilized, non-blonde hair, Non-blue eyes Savages. while finns are wholesome civilized against evil mongol hordes /s
