    You drug it into this.

    To be clear, discussing the Vietnam war is just fine, and more than that, important. But this isnt that.

    Edit a distinct thread on such a topic is welcome and appropriate.

        Over 100,000 civilians died in Iraq and Afghanistan during “the war on terror”.

        That’s worth it because of 9/11 tho /s
