This country sits near Cambodia and Thailand in far south-east Asia. it is also known on the internet as a country of which many memes that direct to having flashbacks to. This is due to the Vietnam war, in which many veterans came back with mental trauma, possibly causing flashbacks. This was made into a meme afterwards, only in a light-heart way, as opposed to the horrors of what soldiers saw (which caused the trauma aforementioned trauma).

RE: the 2 million North Vietnamese Casualties included civilians.
Not true. Around 4 MILLION civilians were killed as a result of the war. In response to the idea that there were many other countries involved other than south vietnam is preposterous. Vietnam is much like Iraq is today: a handful of soldiers from allied countries.
The United States did not get its ass kicked The paris peace accords were signed and as a result the troops were taken withdrawn and american POWs were released. Nixon told the south vietnamese that he would send soldiers back in if the treaty was broken.
However, Nixon was fighting for his political life due to the watergate scandal and along with his resignation went an ally to south vietnam. President Ford didn't give a shit about vietnam and the North vietnamese knew this.
The weak North took control of the South and america shrugged. This wasn't because of an ass kicking, this was because america didn't think this was there war to fight and only did so because 'hawks' controlled the white house.

The North Vietnamese took control over the South, but only because the U.S allowed them to do so. Not because the U.S was bested.

So that party last night, all the underage kids started puking up. We were loading them into ambulances to get their stomachs pumped and their parents were turning up. Fucking Vietnam, man.

A country that LOST in a war against the United States. Not only was the war won by the United States, but it was a blowout. Until Vietnam, our military was never so successful. With G. Warren Nutter (my grandpa, assistant secretary of defense) running the war, we won decisevily. We estimated bodycounts in which we overwhelmingly won. Media said that it was wrong, that they lost less. Turns out we won by even more than we thought. The Vietcong was wiped out by the time we left Vietnam, and the North Vietnamese army was pushed back and annihilated. (see victory to understand how the war went for the United States)
Hippie- whoa dude, im really high! i think were loosing the war!
Intelligent person- look, we killed far more of them, sent them back and completed our goal.
General public- dude, he's right, we're loosing!
Politicians- If we dont pull out, we wont be reellected!!!
Nutter- Yes, but it would be better for the world to keep fighting. We are extremely victorious and could cripple communism in Asia. The public is wrong and we could still help the world before next election
Politicians- No! i dun care!! we leave!!!

Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,
Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,

It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

something that is inappropriate to talk about in the presence of those who were not involved.
Synonymous with code of the road, a phrase used to limit those who shared an experience to talking about it amongst themselves and not to others.
