Post news related to the United States.
For context: Vietnam had 40 million people during the war, the US sent 550,000 troops there and it lost the war
Iran is 5 times the size of Vietnam, has 2.3 times the population, and is just as determined to kick GI butts as the VCs were. And Iran has just mobilized a million troops.
How will 13,000 US troops become anything other than dead bodies and war prisoners in very short order, pray tell?
Not sure how a country of 203 million in 1970 (census data) would have sent a multiple of its population to war in Vietnam?!
Your numbers are off by a LOT.
Oops, wrong order of magnitude. Well spotted.
As our foremost intellectual in the cabinet Markwayne Mullin would say, that was a misspoke 🙂
Thanks for correcting your post, now it makes sense and really shows how fucked the US is. This will get much worse for everyone involved and everyone of us.
In related news, a sudden outbreak of Bone Spurs has spread across the USA.
If I was a doctor, I would readily diagnose bone spurs in any young man coming to me who doesn't want to lose his life in an unwinnable war started by a pedophile with dementia to cover his crimes, and I wouldn't even charge for the consultation.
There's no shame in dodging that one.
What if you found out they're 3 time Trump voters?
I suppose ask if they would vote for a Black Lives Matter activist if they were the opponent, if they say no then they're miraculously cured, because otherwise you know they would vote a fourth time.
Dude is as fit as a racehorse.
