Norman R. Morrison was an American anti-war activist. On November 2, 1965, Morrison doused himself in kerosene and set himself on fire below the office of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara at the Pentagon to protest United States involvement in the Vietnam War, leading to his death. 

 On February 25, 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25-year-old serviceman of the United States Air Force, died after setting himself on fire outside the front gate of the Embassy of Israel in Washington. Bushnell said that he was protesting against "what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers" and declared that he "will no longer be complicit in genocide", after which he doused himself with a flammable liquid and set himself on fire

in vietnam the us army would completely destroy villages and kill civilians, and say a few people there were part of the viet cong to justify it as a target and that the viet cong is the one endangering innocent people. sometimes they werent actually part of the viet cong, sometimes they were, and they would actually have “proof” of VC activities, because they had a lot of popular support among the masses and civilians would often help guerilla fighters. a lot of times the viet cong guerillas they murdered were average peasants who joined after the us bombed them. the us propaganda on this often would try to appeal to people in the north by portraying the viet cong as corrupt thugs stealing from the people and endangering them, acting like they needed to be liberated from the viet cong. despite official u.s. lies to the public that they were only targeting “communist terrorists”, it was very obvious to people in vietnam that this was an imperialist war against the vietnamese people as a whole and communists were the ones defending them.

Lol, at the US being determined to fight socialism but Americans flocking overseas for the socialism.

Vietnamese architects and historians consider the years from 1940 to 1975 the golden age of Vietnamese modernism. In that period, major modernist public buildings such as hospitals and hotels were designed and constructed.

when you read american soldiers accounts of being in vietnam they describe the difficulty of having to fight where nlf members are disguised as or hiding among farmers and peasants, and using villages as bases and they cant even consider for a second that the guerrillas are farmers and peasants
