And so if you want to say, you know, like, as we've talked about for weeks now, right?
People say we lost Vietnam, the war in Vietnam.
We killed a whole lot more of them than they killed of us, you know, but people look at it as a loss because like, but yeah, but what'd you get for that?
We got like over half a million of our young boys killed and then, you know, hundreds of thousands more injured and their lives ruined.
And we just had this generation of now like homeless fucking PTSD, you know, basket cases in our country.
And it cost us, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars.
And, you know, like what what did we get?
And so, yeah, look, there's no question, right, that we blew up a lot more of Iran's shit than they blew up of our shit.
And we killed more of them than they killed of us and all that.
But, you know, again, the reason why people say Vietnam was a loss or Afghanistan was a loss is because you sit there fighting a war to overthrow this regime.
It costs you a bunch of blood and treasure.
It ruins all these innocent people's lives.
even though you killed a lot of people, that regime's still there.
You didn't achieve any of the war goals.
Vietnam went communist after the Vietnam War.
