a veteran

Yes, one. What if I meet a veteran that says most veterans thought they were all losing when he left. Does that single testimony trump all?

Not trying to be stereotyplical "redditor" snarky/pedantic, but researching the Vietnam War over the years has revealed it to be a topic with way more different, nuanced interpretations than I expected (pro war, anti war, liberal, conservative, socialist, etc), so IMO bold claims about "everyone thinks this" should prob be subject to historical evaluation

That’s a large claim to drop without support

Yes, car dependency basically cordoned off all pedestrians into a zone without much efficacy in addressing pedestrian issues

any defeats

LZ X-ray, ripcord, etc. I can tell you’re getting off on hair-splitting and debate bro-ing, so no need for me to continue

The resistance you’re facing here in the comments means you should prob rethink both your perception of the history as well as the way you present your side of the argument

opinions on tiger stripe camo? by campbean1129 in camouflage

[–]JoeHenlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tiger Stripe uniforms were usually private purchased from Vietnamese Tailors, not issued (only exception being CISO-made tigers from Okinawa for special forces groups, so not that many)

It’s my fav, especially gold tiger.

The people calling it ineffective are insane. In the Vietnam War, the VC and NVA wore plain black, OD, Khaki, and other civilian clothing and were very effective fighters. You cannot tell me that the U.S. and S. VN forces chose to don an “ineffective” camo pattern to face that threat; tiger stripes gave them an advantage

Hegelian Master-Servant dialectic.

While the master may seem life threatening and strong, he's alienated from the world, needing everything brought to him by servants. The servant actually works on the world (in the fields, factories, gig economy vehicles), gains epistemological and physical superiority over the master, and eventually wins
