Antifa super soldiers will only show up to fight fascism if fascism is represented by one decrepit, lonesome old man who says that peepee = man. Any more people and they flee.

The old man fought in Vietnam. So he could take out about 20 antifa strags.

How? Vietnam veterans are probably the biggest losers on the planet.

The funny thing about Vietnam (besides the general hilariousness) was that the US has basically won in 1968, as Wikipedia (not known for its imperialist sympathies) puts it:
And so instead of finishing the job the US rapidly withdrew all its ground forces, and even then it took the North more than five years to recover and destroy the demoralized South. The US army was victorious on the battlefield but defeated by domestic journ*lists.
Many such cases by the way, even more strikingly a decade before French army completely crushed Algerian separatists only for public discontent stoked by the usual suspects to force the government to go and grant Algeria independence, forcing about a million of French-Algerians to flee for their lives. The pen is in fact mightier that the sword and it's not a good thing at all considering the kind of scum that wields the former.

The irony of Walter Cronkite being repeatedly called the golden standard of reporting is that he just outright lied about the Tet Offensive and is almost single handily responsible for the change in public opinion of the war. The US could have easily won but public support soured so quickly that the government decided “frick it” and just left the south to be slaughtered.

"Journos were always like this" is the biggest blackpill. At this point I'm like 80% sure Nixon did nothing wrong

It really is. No one working for a large news corporation gives a shit about honest reporting or doing anything other than making themselves a hero and the center of their story, and everyone working for an independent company just wants to make it large enough that they can sell it to a corporation. Journ*lists shouldn’t even be identifiable.

Look at the shit they used to say in journals to sway public opinion like 100-150 years ago, especially during elections. Journos have always been IRL agendaposters, and always will be.

South Vietnam was a corrupt shithole and there was no way the US was ever going to invade North Vietnam, meaning that all Hanoi had to do was continue applying insurgent pressure and let the Soviets and Chinese flood the country with materiel.
It doesn't matter that Tet had exhausted the VC without accomplishing their overarching strategic objectives. The North just needed to play the long game until the South Vietnamese government collapsed in on itself. It is impossible to beat an insurgency while it is being actively aided supplied by an outside power.
The US lost because the South Vietnam government was a horribly corrupt basket case while the US could never actually eliminate the outside power(s) funding the VC. Sound familiar?

That's true about South Vietnam losing the country after the US pulled out. But the US bombing the absolute shit out of the North in the 70's during OP Rolling Thunder pretty much forced the North into signing the Paris Peace Accords. Every piece of infrastructure the north had was bombed into the stone age.
In the end nothing really mattered because communist Vietnam became the new corrupt RVN and now there are McDonalds and KFC all over the country.

I believe you're thinking of OP Linebacker 1 and 2. Anyway, the US also lost a shitton of aircraft. This was before Top Gun when naval aviation and the USAF got its shit together. South Vietnam and the US also expended an extraordinary amount of resources on these two operations. I doubt this was sustainable because the clear goal was to force North Vietnam to the negotiating table.
My overall point, however, is that the North Vietnamese had all the time on their side because the US would never actually invade North Vietnam.
On a final note, air ordinance at the time was nowhere near as lethal as modern air ordnance. The bombings were clumsy in comparison.

Yeah, that's why Great Leaders sack the parliament, setup their own Junta, and nationalize mass media. Makes things much easier.
Journos are to blame, but the US Congress did cut off funding to their puppet state during '73 or '74. They could've used riders to keep it going. The DoD also could've shuffled funds to keep that regime afloat for longer, but the ARVN were kinda useless.

Nonsense. There've been large scale "battles" between Antifa Supa Soldiers and Meal Team Six many times before.
It all depends on the city/state. Are the cops/prosecutors more likely to beat up or change your team or the other team? Will someone get charged if you hit him and he shoots you back as self defense?

Washington is a mutual combat state so it's really the perfect venue for all those r-slurs to fight to the death.
