It's a trap, say the wrong thing and people will decide that you're white

Thanks

You brought me here for a cheap insult and to take arguments beyond whatever thread we left it on?
I won't be paying rent no matter how much time you let me stay in your head.

That wasn't just withdrawal. It was training and aiding South Vietnamese forces. And this was independent of and prior to any kind of ceasefire.
My information comes from several sources, chief among them being Pearson's History Textbooks, Vietnam in HD, We Were Soldiers Once And Young, SOG, The Men With Green Faces, War From the Voices of Soldiers, as well as assorted declassified mission reports from various units and times from accross most combatant forces in the war, as well as a few observers.

We were withdrawing. It doesn't happen overnight. We need to pack up tons of ordinance, cordon off and clear mines, count the dead. We violated nothing, only resuming open combat to keep Republic civvies from being slaughtered in the streets, and our own men from being shot in the back.

I don't pass as white. I don't fucking "act" white either.
You're a racist, and you recast me as the race you hate because you already don't like me. We get it.

We stopped dropping bombs when the NVA agreed to meet at the table with South Vietnam and hash out a peace deal.

I. Am. Not. White. I have no God except maybe Santa Muerta. Being Pro-Trump is no more an indication of my character than someone being Pro-Obama. Raising the minimum wage has a well-established history of fucking over far more people than it helps. I saw unemployment jump while hours were slashed when Seattle did it, and they have far more wiggle room than Weiser, Idaho.
So all that leaves is... you've apparently decided that you know my life better than me, you're too blind to tell my race, but still racist enough to decide that I seem white, so it's just more reason to hate me.

Then please, define racism. Here's a hint: It ain't "Being White".

So you don't have a dictionary. That's alright, just say so.

We're literally asking you for a look at whatever one you go by. This is your opportunity to educate us.

So Xvarnah's dictionary *is* right. Thank you for confirming that for us.

If you're misunderstood, maybe elaborate on what you meant?

No they didn't. They were dumbass rioters who had no objective or strategy.
And they didn't try to steal democracy (you can't steal what doesn't exist), they stole some podiums and had no idea what to do when the doors were literally opened for them to do whatever. Now, why was security so lax when capital police and the FBI knew for months that this was going to happen?
Trump was asking for people to march "peacefully" and demand an audit. Those fucks were just some idiots and provocateur who, again, were seemingly allowed in with ease.

You can have the right skin color even, but for the wrong thoughts they'll decide you may as well have the wrong skin.

How about Failed on both counts.

Nah, they just burned federal courthouses, killed dozens in mostly peaceful protests, ransacked cities and devastated local businesses, tried to kill republican representatives, and did so much worse than the Mostly Peaceful Jan 6 Protest.

Not quite. Cognitive dissonance can come from double think, but isn't the same

Remind me to come back to this later today, if you actually want my take on this

A different reason for each of them. Money. Votes. Sadism. Hatred for their own soldiers. Ignorance. Apathy.
All they had to do to win is let the military win. Instead they let political correctness, the media, and the enemy make the rules.
Our hands were tied, we couldn't even pursue the enemy in retreat, or set foot in hostile territory.
It's every problem we had in Afghanistan and Iraq, but compounded and made worse by an even more hostile left wing.
A sign of things to come from globalism and European entanglements.
