Just asking because I’m curious, I have no horse in this race :)

Edited to Armed forces since thats exactly what I ment

    Even if it was over 50 years ago it was a significant point in history that a lot of people seem to forget, and was a major turning point for the public during Vietnam. It’s also relevant to today with what’s happening.

      Yes, but no one serving then is serving now. Leadership has cycled many times. I mean, how far do you take this? Can you use events from 200 years ago to claim how a group thinks?

      Also culture has changed, the type of people in the service has changed, so much has changed in 50 years. This is ignoring all nuance.

        Ah, so you think learning from history is pointless because it’s not happening here and now, gotcha.

          … How dishonest.

          Learning from history is one thing. Holding people accountable for the actions of others, from before they were even born, is stupid.

          But you knew that. You’re just trolling or hate the military too much to think clearly.

          But let’s follow your logic. Let’s take actions of people in the past and apply them now. So, given the holocaust I’m assuming you think all present day Germans hate Jews and want them to die? I mean we need to learn from the past right? Just because it’s not happening here and now you can’t ignore it. Right?

            How myopic, asinine, and worst of all, willingly ignorant.

            Since you have no regard for learning, enjoy doing everything from scratch.

              So just insults. No counter point, no logic. Just yelling that I’m wrong and you’re right? How convincing.

              If you had any logic to stand on you’d present it. But you don’t. And you’ll find every excuse not to provide any. You know you’re wrong, you’re just too proud to admit it my guy.

                It’s more like you kinda came at me first, I think you’re a lost cause and aren’t going to argue fairly. So I’m not really willing to bother with you. If you think it’s pointless to learn from history then there’s not much point in trying to convince you otherwise, especially if you’re that hot headed.
