You drug it into this.

To be clear, discussing the Vietnam war is just fine, and more than that, important. But this isnt that.

Edit a distinct thread on such a topic is welcome and appropriate.

I brought is up because I am unsure where the line of genocide is especially since wars that involve the US tend to have loads of civilian deaths.
