This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A fair correction. I'll counter than the USA dropped more bombs than WW2 total on Vietnam, including dropping 100,000 tons of bombs on a 40 mile² area and a) didn't kill everyone, b) didn't even bomb every settlement in that area and c) lost.

Vietnam's population was a lot larger and the population was way less concentrated. Tiny concentrated population is a much easier matter to "deal with"

eh, I still don't buy it.

WW2 was gonna be over by the second Christmas, Ukraine was a month-long special operation, etc...

Do you have an example on a similar population/campaign?
