You guys remember The Bulwark, right? The site founded by a bunch of tantrum-throwing Never Trumpers who pretend they’re somehow conserving conservatism by supporting and even endorsing Joe Biden.
Yes, the same Joe Biden who has been accused of sexual assault and whose accuser has far more evidence than Kavanaugh’s accuser ever did?
Welp, seems they have taken the latest pathetic talking point of comparing COVID to Vietnam to blame Trump for American deaths and run with it.

They just keep out-stupiding themselves.

From The Bulwark:
Seen in this light, the most damning aspect of the Vietnam war wasn’t the casualty count—as bad as it was. And it wasn’t the mission: However misunderstood it has become over the decades, the idea of containing communist expansion might have been imprudent or poorly executed, but it was not crazy.
No, the signature problem of the Vietnam war was that it was a glaring failure of American political leadership—and the first failure of America’s military establishment.
Hey, we told you this was stupid.
This kind of manipulative BS is what’s used to justify sending health care workers into risky situations without concerns for their health or adequate protection. https://t.co/5BdNYyoF0z

Manipulative BS.
Sounds about right.
As the daughter of a Vietnam era vet, who watched him and his fellow Honor Flight attendees cry at the memorial wall, this is not Vietnam. Not even close. https://t.co/zx7w5eNoiv

Pretty effing insulting to those that fought, and died in Vietnam.

Oh for Heaven’s sake… you #BullWankers are pathetic.

Charlie–did you know that 250,000 Americans die every year–every year–from medical errors?

I’m not sure that this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, but I’m sure that it’s a contender.

I read it. I found it to be a labored effort to spin a narrative w/the most tenuous of threads.
1. Poor leadership
2. Many died
3. Society changedWhich could be said of any number of conflicts, natural disasters & events throughout history.
Not particularly enlightening.

You have been a disgusting low-life for years Charlie. This is known. What none of us knew, is you could be both disgusting AND utterly clueless. Quite a feat indeed

Yes. The average age of Vietnam casualties was 23.
Their friends watched them die.
They fought, killed, and died for our country.
Countless returned home with PTSD.But keep going, you utter clown.

As you can see, this went well.
