Yes, watching people die on tv does sound much worse than being drafted for Vietnam or living with the daily thought that Russia had a bomb and we could all die any day.

NOBODY WAS DRAFTED INTO VIETNAM WHEN THEY WERE FUCKING TWELVE DIPSHIT

AND, MOTHER FUCKER, YOU DO NOT GET TO INSINUATE THAT THE "DUCK AND COVER" CARTOONS WERE SOMEHOW MORE TRAUMATIZING THAN CODE GRAY DRILLS, LET ALONE SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DIRECTLY EXPERIENCING ACTUAL FUCKING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS

FUCK. OFF. IN. HELL.

at least Vietnam veterans could afford a fucking home when they got back

You know what, STAY fucked off. I don't need filth like you in my feed. BLOCKED.
