    Anyone know the number of Americans killed in Vietnam without looking it up?

    Tap for spoiler

    ~58,000

          I would imagine Agent Orange and severe PTSD-induced homelessness or suicide should also contribute to that number.

      Interesting comparison. People cheering on those Russian deaths should also be cheering on those American deaths

        From an odd point of view, I think it’s been good that world war 2 happened, so that we lost our grip on a lot of countries. Such as Vietnam.

        Can’t really say that out loud tho aha

        Also I wouldn’t exist without world war 2.

        If I didn’t have sex with my wife on that specific night then my specific sperm cell wouldn’t have gone into her specific egg cell.
