The meme literally says “boomers” in it. You paint with a pretty broad brush with those generalizations.

I’m American and an old millennial and when I think of the Vietnam War all I feel is shame. We for sure “lost” in so many senses but we’ve “lost” just about every armed conflict we’ve been involved in since WWII.

America always seems to make the worst of a bad situation and escalate things. Really we should have only kept our bases in Europe and Asia long enough for them to recover from WWII and then begun transitioning back to local allies.
