    Tangential question. What do Americans think of their soldiers being in Korea and Vietnam? Does it strike as odd to the median American? These two countries posed no direct threat to the USA.

      What do Americans think of their soldiers being in Korea

      they don’t, it’s completely left out of most American education. if it’s there it is a brief one-sentence mention

      I do the same shit with Canadians about us having soldiers in Saudi Arabia, Africa, etc. They don’t care and seek to justify it totally and immediately.
