Eventually the us gave up butchering people in Vietnam.

[pwinnski]

Did we, though? We've been at war almost continuously since then.

more like gave up getting butchered.

[shadowprofile77]

just over 58,000 American dead vs. roughly 2 to 4 million Vietnamese dead (depending on how you count the casualties). I'd say they did a lot more butchering than they received.

[novaleaf]

yes I agree, but the number of dead Vietnamese was not the reason for the war's unpopularity in the USA.
