Yeah nobody ever talks about it but the Vietnam war was basically ended by the troops. I really need to learn more about this, but there were Navy ships rapidly starting to unionize, and the Army literally had to phase out grenades as a weapon. I think fragging was bigger than the already staggering official numbers. I really think Nixon thought the US was at risk of fully collapsing if he didn’t get out of Vietnam. The United States LOST lost that war. LOST it. We didn’t let shit slide, didn’t back out gracefully because we were bored. We would have actually not survived as a nation if we tried to win that war.
I see proud Vietnam veterans driving around all the time- there are plenty of fucking racist freaks who are mad it ended. And more people full of self-pity without a concern for their actual victims. But that war sure had a lot of interesting shit happening.

Id give most the credit to the troops, fighting for Vietnam. Let’s not go too far here.
