      Wow somehow I never heard of "The Draft: Special Education Students Edition" but I don't know why I'm still surprised that america had a program like this

        Amerika is evil and the more you learn about it the more it sinks in.

        Also imagine trying to explain that program to a lib, you would sound absolutely nuts and yet the American government has just openly admitted they did that.

      What the actual fuck :agony-soviet:

      BTW, this just led me to the McNamara fallacy, named after the very same guy who used people with mental disabilities as canon fodder: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNamara_fallacy

      The McNamara fallacy originates from the Vietnam War, in which enemy body counts were taken to be a precise and objective measure of success. War was reduced to a mathematical model: By increasing estimated enemy deaths and minimizing one's own, victory was assured.

      Literally using KDR to delude yourself into the believe that you can win by just doing genocide harder.
