they been doing it for decades
But not so ridiculously.
Idk about that one. It's just way harder to suppress news now than it was back in Iraq and Nam.
How is it different from Vietnam and Iraq?
Overall quality of organizing a war was better then. Now this is just fucking circus with a president that struck the bottom of morals and logic. I do not advocate for the USA, but all the wars before, at least, we're not looking so dumb. It may be my perspective, though.
Rape, torture, deliberate murder of civilians all happened during Iraq and Vietnam wars
Lol. The only reason this doesn't happen now is because US soldiers haven't made it to Iran. I would guarantee that raping would exist now as well. I meant that the whole picture of war was portrayed better and the government didn't act like a circus. It just acted as a set of dipshits.
That's why I said it is not different then iraq and afghanistan
"the SS was better organized back in the day"
Nailed it.
So in your opinion, the raping and murdering in Vietnam for example was less ridiculous or better?
The one thing is when the US government at least tried to look normal and blamed the ordinary soldiers despite also doing shit. And the other thing is that now the whole government is a whole circus that doesn't even pretend to have a valid reason to attack Iran and do what they do. My whole point is that the whole act of war was staged much better back then rather than this pitiful improvisation. And note that I haven't said anything about that war crimes were better then versus now. I just said that whole picture of the war was portrayed much better than current shit that is happening.
