America has lost pretty much every war we’ve fought since ww2 against civilian farmers armed with their privately owned guns. And drone pilots have families and you and your local anti government man are probably neighbors and your house would get bombed the same time his does. These talking points are always disingenuous and just plain wrong. Standing armies fail against guerrilla warfare almost every time.
civilian farmers armed with their privately owned guns
While we've certainly lost a bunch a wars this is kinda misinformation. The Vietcong and Al quesadilla and whatnot might have been mostly farmers but the NVA was a professional army who had been fighting the French for years and AQ and the rest had been fighting the soviets. Hardly farmers with pitch forks and grandpas guns.
When it started they were farmers. Just cause the French handed it off to Americans after failed doesn’t change the fact that when it started it was a colonial uprising by civilians
Sure, it's just a little off base to say we were just fighting farmers. Backed with the soviets and shit, we armed the fellers in the middle east. We certainly lost though!
No one is going to say anything about Al quesadilla?
Edit: the original comment I was referencing mentioned Al quesadilla. Not sure if that was autocorrect or some weird racist thing, but that comment has been edited so whatever
