Not even top 10.
You can look it up anywhere you want.
Keep up the cope, boomer. next time you can strap up your boots and join the front lines. But we all know once you heard the first sound of artillery you'd be curled up in a ditch in the fetal position crying.
Why do you refuse to answer the Iraq war question, boomer?

No substance? Said the guy who keeps whining how I'm a boomer and a warmonger. Cognitive dissonance has reached peak, the levels are even high for a miscer.
You really think decision makers would spend guts and fortune overseas for nothing?
I think that tinfoil hat is weighing a lil too heavy for your head making you have some kinda beta forward head posture.
You said US isn't top? Check how many Fortune 500 companies belong to the US or any other technological innovation which came up in the past decade or two, just look at the phone you type your crap on with your greasy fingers? Who made the phone a commercial product?

They're waging war for $$$$$$$ you fkn clown.
You think they're doing it for the good of our nation and the people they are bombing?
This idiot is conflating Fortune 500 companies to the average quality of life for the citizens. Holy **** you are a different level of delusional.
Why do you still refuse the Iraq war question, boomer?
Are YOU really this stupid?

"The Vietnam War had far-reaching consequences for the United States. It led Congress to replace the military draft with an all-volunteer force and the country to reduce the voting age to 18. It also inspired Congress to attack the "imperial" presidency through the War Powers Act, restricting a president's ability to send American forces into combat without explicit Congressional approval. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees have helped restore blighted urban neighborhoods.
The Vietnam War severely damaged the U.S. economy. Unwilling to raise taxes to pay for the war, President Johnson unleashed a cycle of inflation.
The war also weakened U.S. military morale and undermined, for a time, the U.S. commitment to internationalism. The public was convinced that the Pentagon had inflated enemy casualty figures, disguising the fact that the country was engaged in a military stalemate. During the 1970s and 1980s, the United States was wary of getting involved anywhere else in the world out of fear of another Vietnam. Since then, the public's aversion to casualties inspired strict guidelines for the commitment of forces abroad and a heavy reliance on air power to project American military power.
The war in Vietnam deeply split the Democratic Party. As late as 1964, over 60 percent of those surveyed identified themselves in opinion polls as Democrats. The party had won seven of the previous nine presidential elections. But the prosecution of the war alienated many blue-collar Democrats, many of whom became political independents or Republicans. To be sure, other issues--such as urban riots, affirmative action, and inflation--also weakened the Democratic Party. Many former party supporters viewed the party as dominated by its anti-war faction, weak in the area of foreign policy, and uncertain about America's proper role in the world.
Equally important, the war undermined liberal reform and made many Americans deeply suspicious of government. President Johnson's Great Society programs competed with the war for scarce resources, and constituencies who might have supported liberal social programs turned against the president as a result of the war. The war also made Americans, especially the baby boomer generation, more cynical and less trusting of government and of authority.
Today, decades after the war ended, the American people remain deeply divided over the conflict's meaning. A Gallup Poll found that 53 percent of those surveyed believe that the war was "a well intentioned mistake," while 43 percent believe it was "fundamentally wrong and immoral."
Guess you fall into the 4% of retards that still support it

Oh yes, this is a usual consequence of war. What bright minds would be interested in the decade after impact of the war on Vietnam and China... Where they hit with inflation? Were their governments under stress?
No? All you did was copy paste some random paragraph with no source. Congrats, you're a scholar m8Every Man apart, Every Man an Emperor

North Vietnam was definitely fake China. Vietnamese isn't even a fkn real identity LMAO. These retards fell for the VC communist propaganda. They literally drew from some bullchit tribe (Baiyue) from 2000 years ago to instill a sense of national identity to separate themselves from the Chinese.
In reality, North Vietnamese are genetically probably 70-100% Han, their culture is 100% East Asian/Confucius, and their language is closer to Ancient Middle Chinese than Mandarin.

Was just in Vietnam for 3 weeks.
What a weird place!! Hated it for the most part.
The North is very communist, really gross and I hated Hanoi....Could not wait to leave that chithole.
The South is like a dirtier Thailand, very different to the North and should still be called Saigon.....a lot more fun and no Vietnam flags every 5 meters.
They really used Ho Chi Mihn as a politcal puppet to poison the minds of previous and current generations.
From my research, he wasn't that great...just wanted to turn the entire country into Communist Russia.
America funded the South at the time yes? and wanted Capitalism and that's what the war was about, the north wanted complete control...a bit like South and North Korea.
Fun Fact, Ho Chi Mihn wanted to be cremated, but the goverment embalmed his body and put it on display like Lenin.Last edited by 2004Miscer; 03-21-2024 at 12:30 AM.
