Remember when Carlin used to do "ZOMG 9-11 they are taking the bait and overreacting to it!"?

They didn't actually.

They just did more Vietnam.

There was no overreaction, they just went Search & Destroy and bombed Cambodiastan.

No biggie. Same old same old.,
Well ol' Hanoi Dan is triggered by Vietnam, being a Hippie and not a Hardhat and all. So when 9/11 turned into Vietnam all over again, he went ZOMG Vietnam about 9/11. He just didn't grasp the link, because he was so triggered that he couldn't see the forest for the trees.

The reality is, America is getting better at fighting the Vietnam War as it goes.

Casualties are way down.

The torture is getting more subdued.

The All Volunteer Force does a lot less heroin.

There's still collateral damage, but there hasn't been any Pinkvilles.

Things are looking up.

Biden not dead yet, got his best poll results yet, in wake of his Creepy Uncle Joe Me Too moment. Told these chumps they were jumping the gun declaring Biden dead already, he hasn't even handled it that well, and it hasn't hurt him at all apparently. The field is just so weak, it doesn't matter.

He was invoking Remember the Maine, but America broke out of that loop in Vietnam.

Hamburger Hill broke the back of Remember the Maine.

So even when they sink the USS World Trade Center, it gets converted into Vietnam somehow.

Indeed the trees are Remember The Maine, and the forest is Hamburger Hill, Carlin got so distracted by Remember The Maine he didn't consciously see the transfer to Vietnam.

The "somehow" is the Carter Doctrine.

Apparently the Domino Theory was only discredited as pertains to Indochina.

When Carter invoked the Domino Theory in the Middle East, it was all new and fresh again.

The fall of the Shah.

The Iranian Revolution.

That was Middle East Nam Dien Bien Phu.

It really was, that's an apt way to put it. The frame totally fits.

Operation Eagle Claw was like the Gulf of Tonkin.

America's first contact with the North Middle Easternese Army.
