Trump MAGAthread VI

[Conserative Morality]

Do you realize that North Vietnam immediately conducted an offensive called the Ho Chio Min campaign towards the South after the US withdrawal in the region? Read up on chapter 6. Though you'll have to buy the book if you want the complete analysis on Hanoi's change of doctrine.

You do realize that the reason that the South was so vulnerable to an offensive was because of their extreme unpopularity among their own population which screwed them even after the effective dissolution of the Vietcong, right?

But hey, hearts and minds don't matter. Drop enough bombs and you win, amirite?

[Conserative Morality]

Don't put words in my mouth.

Oh, so a decade from now you'll have reversed your opinion, then?

Or is it that you don't understand comparisons? I understand they can be rather difficult for the... literal-minded.

Pretty sure military historians are more informed then you.

I guess the complete collapse of the Afghanistan government never happened after the withdrawal of the Soviet Union. What's it called fake history?

[The East Marches II]

They are making a comeback. Karzai wasn't called the mayor of Kabul for nothing. Since we withdrew most of the troops we've lost all the gains we made in that much vaunted surge. Those dead men and the money expended were literally for nothing.

Mattis disagrees, and I think he knows a little more about war than YOU DO, pal, because he INVENTED IT

Mattis is a good solider. Unlike him, I'm not constrained anymore and I can voice my opinion openly.

Pretty sure that anyone who is, like me, a history major, understands that historians rarely agree. This includes (shocker) military historians!

No really, it's true! Informed people can have different opinions!

Looks like you failed on that one.

"You're like one of those people always forecasting doom and you'll still be this way ten years from now."

"Don't put words in my mouth."

"I didn't."

"I guess you don't believe in the collapse of the Afghanistan government after the SovUnion left, ha ha"

???

You're right. I should seek out higher-quality opposition. TEM, what's your schedule looking like?

Can't learn from the past eh?

I guess I can't. I should've learned by now that you don't actually respond to posts with anything resembling relevance to the post or the topic at hand.

I guess the military is private organization now and doesn't belong to the US government or adheres by what commander-in-chief states.

[Camicon]

My guess? In the possession of the Army, Rolling Stone, and anyone else who utilized FOIA to look at them. Feel free to contact anyone of them if you want to see the primary documents for yourself.

I'm sure you're just as discerning with everything you read.

I'm contacting you. Unless the reports is non-existent?

Don't act stupid.

My source is the Rolling Stone article. If you have an issue with the evidence they've gathered (from the Army no less) then take it up with them.

That rape article was torn to shreds by a few Regular Joes shortly after it was published. It didn't finger the US government for war crimes, and stand up under their blistering gaze for six years and running.

Quality journalism Rolling Stone is not friendo

If one bad story is what it takes to knock you off the "Quality" pedestal, then quality journalism does not, and has never, existed.

Thank you for proving his point.

It's bullshit evidence just like something comparable to Breitbart or similar.

So the military's actions and it's budget is not within Trump's sphere of influence?

...Rolling Stone tends to be much more carefully researched than Breitbart, my dude. You not liking the conclusions they draw doesn't make them fake news. Don't fall into the Trump Trap there.

I would trust if they actually produced gave me the report. Up to this point it's pure speculation as I can't even find those report and files.

That's a good meme on the better researched part.

Vague mentions of reports with no concrete proofs. I require better proofadoodledoo than that.

Comparitives are funny. Senkaku's post could be both completely true and, in context, still mean very little.

The only source you can trust is Stratfor. In Stratfor we trust.

You are too kind. I'm a bit busy to be honest. I should have flown a desk like a friend of mine and gotten an ez government job. Then I could good post at work.

[Corrian]

So remember that guy our President invited to the White House?

Yeah, lovely guy.

So when are we invading the Philippines to give them some freedom?
Or does that only apply to communists and Muslims?
