Americans: Are we the baddies?
History: When have you not been?
War of 1812.
Civil war. (Well half of us were baddies)
World war 2.
WW1 was pretty noble, same with the Revolution. I think Korea was a shitty situation all around but some good EVENTUALLY came out of it in the 90’s when South Korea became a full fledge democracy.
The rest are questionable and downright horrific.
Even world war two war rather dirty, though there everyone was, and sometimes its was also the only option, i guess?
Dresden was fun
Hiroshima, Nagasaki were fun
Oh, the Alies knew about the extermination camps but didn't try to destroy them, bigger picture and the such
War is hell
