Nah, you've just watched Viet Nam movies. Jungles sucks, especially when the weather is extremely hot and humid, you're in your uniform, you've got a 150pound backpack on your back, and you have marched for 5 hours already.
It sucks, it's boring, there's a chance that at any moment 30 Viet Congs will pop out and turn you into a tortured slave.
Don't romanticize it.

Sure was comfy

not gonna lie Vietnam always seem lit af there is a certain magic and mysticism to it missing from other wars

can't wait until Hollywood starts making Vietnam movies again

>>3294195
Jungles are the opposite of comfy, they're total hell.

Blame Apocalypse Now and Platoon. It was a fucking dull war in real life.

And they can't force diversity in vietnam war movies, it's impossible

>>3294502
> they can't force diversity in vietnam war movies
Vietnam was full of coons, it's one of the reasons the average Vietnamese wasn't on board with America, it reminded them of the French Tirailleurs

>>3294518
I read that as "they can't force diversity because it was actually diverse"

>>3294245
>Trench foot
Technically it's jungle rot when it's warm water, although I'm sure the soldiers had issues with all kinds of water temperatures in Vietnam.

I remember this BBC documentary about WW1, there was this Brit veteran saying it was the best years of his life, that he never felt so alive. So yes, even the worst war can be seen as pleasant, stop being shy virgins.

Indeed, Afghanistan has a comfy vibe. It's often compared to Vietnam btw.

>>3294195

The desert might be bleak,bland and boring compared to western europe or the jungle, but its probably one of the best environments you could fight in.

>the music
You mean the popular music of the time? Because that's just the musical movement of the decade. That's like saying Grunge is a direct result from the gulf war.
>the drugs
This wasn't new. Berserkers likely used drugs to induce faux supernatural strength.
>the banter
You think soldiers didnt chat?
>the war crimes
People have always been killing cruelly, raping, etc.
>the weapons and vehicles
Okay I'll give you that, but Vietnam didn't have as much vehicle advancement as the first two WWs did. Pic related can be considered an advancement in military vehicles since horses are used as transportation, not weapons.
>the uniforms
WW1 and 2 were more /fa/ but I guess it's subjective
>napalm
The product known as Napalm was new but similar weapons (sticky fire) have exited for a long time. IIRC The Greeks invented a flammable liquid similar to Game of Throne's Wildfire.

>thinking war is "comfy"

Well, OP, you know WWII soldiers had sexy pinup girls on their walls, listened to cool 40s music and had cool uniforms.
WWI even had cool cavalry, awesome gas masks, cool tanks and military marches. And the mustaches.
Who cares about blow to bits or seeing civilians butchered, right?

>>3295020
That's where you're wrong, it's pretty common among veterans (even the wounded) to claim their war was cool. Good memories, pride etc is what you'd hear the most if you ask them.

>>3295085
I work with Viet vets, all they ever do is say the government were cunts and the draft was a shit idea because it threw a whole bunch of kids who didn't want to be there into the army

Is there anything comfier than hanging out with your entire neighborhood oldboys (because you all got shipped together) in a trench during a gas attack?
Listening to wild beats on your gramophone, boiling tea in a pot, inhaling dank gasses, waving at huns hanging out on the other side of A E S T H E T I C no man's land.

Just look at the uniforms my dude.
They combine sharpness and sexiness of 19th century with a more practical modern outlook. Not too strict and not too chic, pure comfy.
And gasmasks are the nicest thing anyone ever invented, the longer you wear them the warmer you get, perfect for late night card games.

Nicely memed, soldiers enjoyed quality handmade food from portable ovens.

>>3295111

I know a few of them who say that in public but will tell you they had a lot of fun in private.

I think the biggest factor in making an event traumatic is society deciding you should feel traumatized by it. Soldiers dont necessarily suffer all the very worst or feel as shocked by deaths and danger around them to the point of psychological damage.
