American soldiers be like : Geez i wonder why civilians are not cooperating with us and instead throwing IED at us. No!!! John died ! I'll kill rape everything that move in this village to avenge you john. Oh, no ! The horrible things i did gave me PTSD ! Sad.... Make a movie about how it affected me please.

It isn't a flex, it's an unfortunate fact. It's not something I'm proud of, it's just a response to you looking for something to point out in my post so you can feel smart and superior. Your criticism didn't make sense because if anything, it implied that the US never killed civilians. I'm done arguing though, you can fuck off now.

First, what ? Am not the same commenter. Either you need glasses or replied too quickly which can happen sometimes.

Second, your comment sounded like bragging which wouldn't be the first time i saw an American do it when told they lost the Vietnam war "Yeah they killed 50.000+ of our soldier but we killed 2 millions civilians so who lost..."

Yeah, you aren't the same commenter. I did reply to quickly. My bad about that. But no, it wasn't a brag.

I think you're arguing with someone else. They weren't flexing.
