    Nothing is more damage than Vietnam…

    • Korea?
    • WWII?
    • Second Sino-Japanese War?
    • Armenian Genocide?
    • Russian Civil War?
    • WWI?
    • Mexican Revolution?
    • Congo Free State?
    • Paraguayan War?
    • ACW?
    • Taiping Rebellion?
    • Napoleonic Wars?
    • … and that’s just 19th-20th century.

    If you think nothing is “more damage than Vietnam” I respectfully suggest that you should learn more about non-Vietnam.

      All very good points, yes. Also I think you missed the point of what I was saying by being obtuse

        Because it couldn’t possibly be that you communicated your point in an obtuse fashion now, could it? 🙄

          Oh I completely did, but I meant in the scale of comparing an AI image to what happened in Vietnam. Like different continents. Anyway hope you have a good holiday break.

            Well by sheer body count, nothing matches WWII. This is even if you don’t include the second Sino-Japanese War as part of it. (If you do, that boosts WWII’s score by a further 15-20%.)

            But my personal “favourite” is the Paraguay war. It “only” has a body count of about half a million, but that covers about 50-70% of its total population.

            Pause for a second and think of that. At least half of your population gone in six years.
