    Hard to quit fighting when the war is being fought in your front yard.

    Another excellent arc by Trudeau.

    Trump Disciples won’t get it, but that’s nothing new.

    BD was never the brightest bulb in the strip, but this one, when compared with how he is now portrayed, demonstrates how much he has grown.

    See! You need to be careful who you invite to your pity party.

    Great timing for this arc, just replace the Vietnamese guy with a Taliban and hear similar stories

    The Vietnamese guy wishes he’d sat next to a mother with a yowling baby instead.

    The sad thing is….after WWII ended, Ho Chi Minh came to DC to ask for our help to form a free and independent Vietnam. Truman wouldn’t even see him.Instead, we backed the French in their effort to re-establish the area as one of their colonies. How many people died because of that?Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

    Don’t diss the Vietnamese. They shat on the most powerful country in the world.

    What’s amazing is that over 3/4 of Vietnamese polled in 2015 had a favorable impression of the US. Of course, the proximity to China has something to do with it: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/04/30/vietnamese-see-u-s-as-key-ally/

    While almost 60,000 Americans died in Vietnam, the Vietnamese death toll was in the MILLIONS! (Ditto Cambodia…)
