You say there’s no force on earth that can stop the U.S. military if it wants you dead. Vietnam did.

"Restraint" is a strange word for a war that killed over three million Vietnamese, mostly civilians: women, children, and the elderly.
Strange for a war where more bombs were dropped than in all of World War II.
Strange for villages burned, rice fields poisoned, forests turned to deserts, and birth defects still haunting children fifty years later.
"Restraint" is not sparing the enemy.
It’s failing to destroy them, despite every weapon you could legally and illegally deploy.
You say there’s no force on earth that can stop the U.S. military if it wants you dead.
Vietnam did.
And that’s why you’re still arguing with ghosts,
Because you lost, not just the war, but the illusion that violence always wins.
If genocide is your idea of "what it takes,"
You’ve already admitted defeat.
History will remember which side needed "restraint"
And which side needed only memory and will.
America’s greatest power is imagining it could have won if only it had been cruel enough.
Vietnam’s greatest power is having survived anyway.
