In the US phase of war, approximately 2 million Vietnamese civilians and 1 million combatants were killed, along with a chemical poisoning of the land that lingers to this day, (members of my extended family in the US and Vietnam, are still dying of cancer after two generations.) twitter.com/Kredo0/status/…

That anyone is incredulous about this is a huge tell. US war in Vietnam was close to genocidal and I don’t use that word lightly.

There is certainly a massive amount of information to support the assertion of US actions in Indochina as "close to genocidal." The problem is that one has to work very hard to get around the current positioning of our actions there as "bumbling efforts to do good."

Vietnam is a stain on American history on par with many of the worst atrocities of the early republic, but feel like that’s too painful to admit to even many left-liberals today

The death and destruction visited on Laos and Cambodia as part of all of it must not be forgotten

Plus zero effort towards reconciliation. Americans don’t know these facts.

We not only committed genocide in Cambodia, we genocidally cleared the way for more genocidalists

Terrible. If we added some other Wars (not needed esch one of them) that US has promote, then easily (US) is the country who promoted more death and destruction around the world - ever.
