This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Vietnam had field artillery and Soviet fighter jets. They were a real army.

Sure, but a large portion of their fighting against the French and Americans was through guerilla warfare and tactics.

Yeah, and the only reason they won is because it was a logistical nightmare for the country on the other side of the world.

That wouldn't be the case for a civil war. They have all their army equipment right there.
