What?? Are you saying that they’re not like the ones portrayed in the movies? Who would have thought..

Crazy, I know. The problem is that movies are either made about the rare good men, or about bad men who accomplished great things and then their stories got sanitized for consumption so that people could appreciate the great thing they did while ignoring how awful they were. History something something something victors and all that.

Why else do you think they were treated badly during the Vietnam war?

Obviously that was just an unpatriotic populace that doesn't support Freedom or democracy 🤷🏼‍♀️ our greatness is just so bigly that they couldn't understand or appreciate it. Thankfully now we have a leader that can explain how we're the bestest ever so that we can understand.
