Still different. They are way more advanced than us. And we have way less grit than either of those groups. The viet were willing to live in spider filled holes in the ground. Afghanistan had been at war for years when the us went in so they were hardened already. I think if the current administration had been in power during either of those wars, both countries would have been crushed. The political winds in the us have shifted towards extremism. Trump could totally throw us in concentration camps right now and genocide the entire country and I’m thinking he would get away with it since there would be no backlash at home. Half the people down there would be able to do the mental backflips to justify it and the other half is broken and weak. I genuinely think that Trump can do whatever he wants at this time and get away with it. He’s already purged enough of the government of people with integrity that by now, he is untouchable. We are in danger beyond belief and nobody really seems to be alarmed enough.
Another difference is Canada has a long undefended border with the US and the citizens for both countries can look and sound the same. That guerrilla war wouldn’t stay in just Canada.
Come on man. 99% of us grew up in conditions that are soft and easy. I’ve seen extreme violence on a daily basis, but I can still be certain that whatever violence I’ve encountered would be puppy piss compared to what other people in the world go through. It’s led me to be soft. And unless you live in some enclave of extreme suffering somewhere in canada nobody knows about, you are probably just like me. Probably even softer seeing as you lack the self awareness that would allow you to be honest with yourself about what you are. I dunno, maybe you’re in the military or something?

I completely disagree
Trump only won a small portion of the American voting population our problem is people don’t vote, not that most of them support this.
I think if it ever actually came to those lengths Congress wouldn’t support it. Congress decides if we go to war, not Trump.
You speak for only for yourself. You may be soft, but not everyone is the same as you.
