    It’s way more complicated than that because I’ve met Vietnamese people who regard American soldiers as heroes. You can sit from your position of privilege and what tell me they don’t know what they’re talking about? Two things can be true at the same time

      And I’ve met American soldiers who regard themselves in the way I do, just because you have personal anecdotes about people doesn’t make the broader historical fact any less true.

          lol you made a stupid point so now I’m dividing the left? You can’t just use personal anecdotes to back up your claims. Vietnam is still socialist, too, btw. Despite our best efforts.
