>vietnam war
I dont get it, whats so good about this?
If you were a white, healthy, middle-aged, straight, male, normie, then yes, being alive in 1955-1965 in the United States was as good as it got. Not very many people actually fit that very specific definition though and even then you lived under the constant threat of Soviet bombardment.
Between 1966 and 1969 1.3 Americans were dying in Vietnam every hour, 24 hours per day, for 4 years straight.
I don't see the problem with dying for your country, especially not in such a memorable and aesthetic manner.
kino
goddamn, I'm gonna play some rising storm now
>lead in the air from petrol
no thanks
A little lead in the air keeps society exciting
lmao
The old pictures of America look exactly the same as America now but nobody is fat
truly paradise on earth
>no internet
Fuck the sixties. No amount of LSD can make up for this.
Also do you like some of the pictures? I got them from an old thread on /o/ and a few of them give me no results if you look them up on google, the guy claimed he scanned them all.
>ywn cruise the Nevada desert in a 1970 challenger because they're desirable and expensive

>be american born in 1960
>get mkultrad at age 12 because you said something slightly anti war

based
>memorable
>aesthetic
how? it ended in tragedy because we completely failed to do anything significant there so everyone just died for nothing. And it wasn't for america they were fighting but simply against communism
b-but the movies
>watches a bunch of IT AINT MEs and bases what he thinks of vietnam war on that
