The phrasing that the Vietnamese didn’t care about their human losses because they had some kind of supernatural death drive
I've heard an anecdote about a US Air Force general during the Vietnam War basically saying that it wasn't really a problem that the bombings were causing so much collateral damage, since the Vietnamese had different cultural views on death and didn't mind... just absolutely insane fascist :brainworms:. I think it was in the RevLeftRadio episode on the war, don't really remember now where I heard it.

Just gonna make a wild guess and say this was certified demon Curtis "Bombs Away" LeMaydeleted by creator
Yeah the quote I was thinking of was the "If they don't stop their aggression we'll throw them back into the stone age" quote
LeMay was the one who said he would be tried and hanged for war crimes for what he did if he were fighting on the Axis side.
