>It aint me starts playing

Pointless but the way liberals treated soldiers coming back was horrendous.

>huey rotors thumping in the distance

>mfw ill never be apart of the greatest generation of americans

The hippy and baby killer generation?

My uncle was killed there in '69 when I was eight. Still carrying a grudge.

It's very misunderstood despite being a very well known conflict.

A big fat waste and we can't resist picking losers.

so insightful

Unnecessary but kept going to bring corporate America boatloads of cash off of army contracts. It's why JFK was killed

probably the worst of the many pointless wars in American history.

...

>tfw ywn smoke a joint in a helicopter while listening to Jimi Hendrix

The French gov warn America that this was a bad idea

One time I was listening to jimi hendrix with my uncle and he said it reminded him of killing gooks. Miss you uncle ray.

i like how it showed how bad the us army is

I fucking hate this meme

Aka the generation that got everything from their parents yet stole everything from their kids

War is a racket and our soldiers deserved to be treated better.

this

>be american
>go to war
>lose

3 weeks

I THINK THEREFORE

SINK
THE
CHINKS

against?

This is a common perception since we didn't accomplish any notable goals and just decided we had enough. But look at Vietnam today, completely open to USA, growing tourist economy, not communist. At worst, Vietnam was a lost battle in a war we won.

A terrible waste of time and lives to retain a north/south division in a nation nobody wanted.

>Go in to fight commies
>Lose
>Vietnam goes capitalist a decade later anyways
Pointless

This, what a fucking mess.

>>Lose
How so?

the guy in the background of that picture is peeing.

how is/was it viewed in oz? i forgot you guys participated but i dont know at what level so maybe its not a big deal there

I've never even heard "it ain't me".

you pulled out like pussies

>NAPALM THE GOOKS
>CHARLIE DON'T SURF
>BAD MOON RISING STARTS PLAYING

cunt australia probably contributed in more ways than canada
australian soldiers coming back home got absolutely reamed by the public

Killed millions of the little bastards.

Political loss, not a military loss.

Fuck leftist.

RRREEEEEEAAAAAMMMMD m8

There is literally nothing wrong with murdering babies

It wasnt pointless. An attempt to stop the spread of Communism.

By not recognizing that the Vietnamese just wanted freedom.
We didn't use diplomacy and talk down the French from relinquishing their colony
We didn't talk to Ho Chi Min when we had the chance
We were too prideful and didn't do things the way we should have done
We focused too much on the Communists aspect and didn't read between the lines
We underestimated how much the Vietnamese wanted their freedom and how patient they were
We failed to see their distaste of the Soviets and Chinese
We underestimated them

Like soviets in Finland
You didn't achieve what you came there to do, therefore it's a victory for North Vietnam, therefore a loss for USA

>I've never even heard "it ain't me"

yeah are you a faggy retard or something canada stayed out of vietnam im asking about your country

lmao

Aesthetic

>you pulled out like pussies
>China
Top Kek. We pulled out like pussies? They whipped your surrogate's asses in Kampuchea, and the kicked the shit out of your incursion forces, when you got so butthurt about it.. leading to a Chinese "pull out". We signed our treaty with them, and went home. The end.

yes dardy unna absolute skunted

yeah why dont you try staying out of dogs genitalia as well

no idk my step grandfather did 4 tours and was an absolute wreck from it

Vietnam kicked your shit in too Chink.

This is mostly true, yet we didn't "lose". Regardless, we shouldn't of went in the first place.

EEWIE BOY LET'S GO FRY SOME CHINKS!
Burgers fighting commie rice-eaters with sharpened sticks>Still manage to lose.

That is some next-level sucking they got there buddy.

based as fuck war.

reminded socialists all over the world that america is not to be fucked with.

and it worked, not a single country in south east asia turned communist after vietnam.

>Cambodia

We went there with the intent of keeping the north and south separated, as part of our post WW2 commitment. We realized the the corruption and nepotism were toxic and insurmountable. We bombed the shit out of the north (in hindsight, we probably should of bombed the south instead) and forced a peace treaty, then went home. They south fucked around with their thumbs up their asses for 3 years after we went home, and the north crushed them. By your metric, we "won" in Korea.

uniforms get ugly when politicians start commanding wars

except we were poor and undeveloped as africa back then. america with all its tech and shit cant even defeat rice farmers LOL!!!!

I'm sorry, wasn't Vietnam YOUR colony?


Don't worry about it, you can't win them all. Just learn from it and don't repeat the same mistake.

Laos, Cambodia and Burma did.

LBJ was pretty incompetent about whether or not to press war, costing many lives. We should've not held back and crushed communism as quickly as possible, but unfortunately Nixon was pressed to have us pull out by the American public, hippy pot smoking faggots. It probably is the reason why people still hate veterans/why that kind of mentality exists in America.

China with its communism and massive army couldn't beat Vietnam either. I'm not worried though, considering Chinese communists are the labor slaves of capitalist Americans today tells me all I need to know.

COMBODIA IS A NATION OF LOWLIFES JUST LIKE CHINKLAND

VIETNAM SHOULD HAVE LET THE COMBODIANS KILL THEMSELVES INSTEAD OF HELPING

SINK
THE
CHINKS

china had to do what it did to progress, even being slaves. but thanks for all the free stolen technology and jobs

Fake and gay

Your nation deserved the savage ass kicking you got at their hands.. You guys fuck around too much.

My dad served there as a military policeman. I didn't think he had seen much and never talked about it to him until recently.

I found out he was there for the Tet Offensive and have my suspicions he killed some. He talked alot about just how many bodies there were and they were moving them with plows.

Also I found out at one point he was the guy who had to shoot the nuke control guy if he didn't follow launch orders. Crazy shit.

You're welcome, best of luck with your smog, barren farmland, pollution, and toxic rivers.

They make some really cool movies because of it
Thanks amerika for make war

Still not MY defeat.

>china acting like the fucking slopes didnt wipe the floor with them
this is bait

Full Metal Jacket

The war was lost when Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated. South Vietnam had no unifying philosophy to challenge communism. The only thing holding it together was Diem.
Still, if the ultimate goal was to stop the spread of communism in Southeast Asia, Johnson succeeded. See: Suharto

I am the Vietnam war.

Except the first indochina war WAS your defeat, and if you hadn't fucked it up there never would've been a second indochina war.

Poo

Vietnam war was trash

That said, since you posted a picture of him, Jim Webb is based. He's what the Democrats used to be, and even openly said he would vote for trump over Hillary after dropping out of the democratic primaries.

I honestly liked him even better than Trump, and it's rare for me to like Democrats. Too bad.

Pointless war strung by a false flag in Gulf of Tonkin
Johnson should go down as a war criminal for supporting the military industrial complex

burgers tried to 'stob gommunism' because muh disagreements, burned forests, killed people, and didn't even win

SHEEP

WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE MEME WAR

Our country didn't have the biggest military budget in the world.
No matter how you frame it, you sucked chinks's dicks.

>and *we* didn't even win
ftfy

Popular until conscription was put in place and the news footage started making it home, then it was even more unpopular than it was in the states.

Vietnam vets were even denied entry to RSL clubs and prevented from marching in ANZAC day parades by WW2 vets after it had ended.

Today it's viewed as a national tragedy, in school we briefly gloss over the battle of Long Tan and otherwise pretend it didn't happen.

SOME FOLKS WERE BORN

MADE TO WAVE THE FLAG

It was important to fight communism. Feel sorry for some of the guys that got conscripted though.

They probably didn't need to do that.

America lost the war because they can't out maneuver the viets. Võ Nguyên Giáp employed tactics and strategies from Sun Tzu's art of war. It's better to to outwit your enemy than outfight them, America better learn the art of war well if they were to fight the chinese. But I'm sure its taught in the USMA.

>Our country didn't have the biggest military budget in the world.
Nor did they. The US re-armed and re-equipped you nation, and transferred 10s of thousands of German pows to your control, to shore up you foreign legion. You wasted all of it getting your asses kicked in your former colony.
>No matter how you frame it, you sucked chinks's dicks.
They fucked you up, and all you got was a lousy t-shirt.. and the Geneva accords where you basically surrendered.. again.

>they can't out maneuver their own news media
ftfy

Please, you Frogs, just like the Chinks are more humiliated over your loss in Vietnam than anybody else.

Maybe it is because Vietnam and the US have already normalized relations and are major trading partners. Vietnam still hasn't talked to the French or China.

The Vietnamese accepted our war veterans before people back home did.

We didn't recognise veterans or start building memorials until the late 80's.

Why the government allowed liberals to end the war I do not know. The Vietnam War was obviously started to protect the South China Sea from becoming a victim of Chinese protectionism but they ended it and now once again China are going back at it.So stupid because they was winning the war as well

We lost way less men, less time and money into keeping that stupid part of the world than you did trying to stop the commies there.
By the mid 50's, half of the population didn't even care for Indochina anymore, and were more than ready to give it independence. And we put less effort in keeping it than you did trying to keep the red plague out of it, but yet failed.

DELET THIS

That's right, you guys were more interested in losing a war against niggers in your own backyard.

a misguided attempt. watch the Fog of War

Complete disaster.
>Waste of lives
>Waste of money
>Increased levels of Anti-Americanism
>Caused civil unrest in the USA

Pic unrelated

kind of funny to consider how many tens of thousands good young men we killed in 'nam and what saved Japan from communism was one based teenager.

We went in to stop Commies, you went in to keep your colony.

The French were the ones boasting on how "Vietnam will never be independent".

His uncle for sucking at war, duh.

Your nation's fecklessness made all of it necessary. We should of left you to the nazi's..

if anything we should have had the CIA take this guy's DNA and use them in Japanese sperm banks

I think this is true.

yay jets
