@Erinjagerbombastic, just gonna say thought France fought them first
-
@Erinjagerbombastic, didn't Britain also give it a shot?
-
@Erinjagerbombastic, yessir, It was French Indochina then, and they got their asses kicked. Has France won any war since Napoleon?
-
@Erinjagerbombastic, So did China and a few other countries.
-
@Blitzmann, Plenty the conquest of Senegal, Franco-Tarzan war of 1825, French conquest of Algeria, first Franco-Mexican war, first Franco-Moroccan war, Franco-Tahitian war, Bombardment of Tourane, siege of Medina Fort, Cochinchila Campaign, Tonkin campaign, Franco Siamese war, Franco-Syrian war, Great Syrian revolt, Ifni war, Bizerte crisis.... oh and I almost forgot WW1! In which France was instrumental for the Allied victory since the French Army was the only European army on the western front that could match Germany in strength.
-
@Blitzmann, they technically ended up winning WWII as well. Or were on the winning side at least
-
@Erinjagerbombastic, France were assholes and pulled us into the conflict if I remeber correctly
-
@Blitzmann, technically they won WWI and WWII by being on the eventual winning side, but got invaded very badly during both
-
@Killing instincts , nah you guys had a foreign policy which pretty much demanded you would crush any Communist regime (excluding the ones who were too big or too dangerous to attack), the French had effectively told you to fück off and let them do it (they felt they needed to regain their national pride in the wake of ww2) then when France decided it was too costly for it to be worth doing you lot stepped in.

To be fair they were some sneaky squinty eyes

WELCOME TO THE RICE FIELDS MUTHAFVCKA
-
Australia and South Korea were also there.
-
@Filker, Everyone forgets the Koreans
-
I mean, it was guerrilla warfare, so they get a major advantage knowing their land
-
Doesn't help that the soldiers were strung out on Heroine and tripping on LSD.
-
I mean we could have won and the we could have made the only living Vietnamese people be the ones who left before we came in but we didn't.
-
Technically it was never a “war” to begin with

Doesn't help that our soldiers were literally not allowed to fire their weapons toward the end.
-
South Vietnam did
-
You just don't feck with some people. Vietnam wanted it more than we did and they had home-field advantage.
-
Wasn’t a war.
-
To also be fair we were only there to steal coke and rubber, also MVP for both world wars
-
Spain lost to some Mexican ones.
France did
