That's part of the bit. "Your uncle died in 'nam? Good, he shouldn't have been there in the first place"

A - Do you feel this way about all wars the US fought? Because it wouldn't only piss off Vietnam veterans.

B - Vietnam vets were mostly drafted, so mocking their veteran loved one who died is a dick move 1000%

C - Your brief chortle would be quickly interrupted by a swift punch to the face

A. Yes, the US is a fascist empire and shooting other poor people in another country is not morally justified ever. What, the government will shoot you? You are risking being shot either way.

B. Mine dodged it because he had some ethics. Not sorry your terrible ancestor died trying to kill women and children for no good reason.

C. I fight better than most people that would do that. While breaking their arm in self defence would be macho as hell the actual paperwork would be tedious despite being morally justified

Going to the gym irregularly puts you ahead of most Americans. It isn't hard. The kind of person that would get so mad they would swing off this is not likely to be a type of person that fights well or trains often. If I was being a dick about it I would do it. I even specifically said that physically dominating shitty boomers would in the end not be worth it. Despite it being ethically correct
