    I’ve been posting this in a couple places - but it’s not Vietnam, right? It’s Ireland and the Troubles. Only - on a scale that makes the Troubles look like a block party. And I say that aware that the Troubles was a decades long conflict that piled bodies sky-fucking-high and never truly healed. It wasn’t solved by a U2 song.

      Alternatively its another Afghanistan only when you accidentally blow up a hospital full of locals instead of the enemy combatants you thought they were you’re actually blowing up your own people, in your own hospital in your own house.
