You’re not wrong, but like, ouch.
They are wrong, for the premise is wrong. Being open about the trauma they suffered is no participation trophy. Being a veteran of a war is a burden and not an achievement.
“I raped and murdered innocent people I’m the victim”
Most did not. Your peers did that too. Doesn’t mean all of you are guilty. You are a redditor/fedditor you are part of a subgroup containing femizidic incels.
As a millennial, at no point did we actually want participation trophies. The feeling of coming in last was not changed in the slightest by receiving a junk trophy.
It was never about the kids, it was about the boomer parents that got jealous seeing other kids with trophies around other petty boomer parents
They’re still convinced they got cheated out of victory by liberals.
I mean if you look at the restriction on targets you might come to that conclusion. The US restricted any airstrikes on railyards, airfields, SAM sites could only be targeted if they shot first, and anything in a 30mile radius around Hanoi. These restrictions were only removed 7 years into the war, and there were still restriction on the ground war and targets there. McNamara is directly responsible for these restrictions and the 57000 American lives that could have lived if we didn’t hanper our own warfighting at every turn.
Almost as if the loss of life was the entire point…
