minus-squareOptional@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·29 days agoAnyone know the number of Americans killed in Vietnam without looking it up? Tap for spoiler ~58,000
minus-squareBrave Little Hitachi Wand@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·29 days agoPlus about 300k “casualties”, which is more apples to apples with the 900k Russians.

minus-squareMBM@lemmings.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·29 days agoInteresting comparison. People cheering on those Russian deaths should also be cheering on those American deaths
minus-squareWanpieserino@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-228 days agoFrom 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. Existential crisis intensifies
