Because Cambodia is largely irrelevant to most people and to world history at large.
Leo Young
This. Why should kids in America or Europe learn about this outside of a class focused on Asian history, or modern history?
Jonathan Ramirez
Can you imagine if they did?
>Dem damn SJW liberal fascists forcing us to learn about wars we didn't fight in!
Brandon Cooper
Completely insignificant tiniest country in a galaxy far away. If it would be learned, you would have to only study history, and study it for 20 years.
Eli Morgan
Literally who?
Henry Gray
Because it wasn't REAL communism
Andrew Reyes
It is though.
Ethan James
Holiday in cambodia
Josiah Martinez
Because no one cares
Tyler Bailey
because their are marxist intellectuals that dont want that
Grayson Thomas
Because nobody wanted to admit that evil communist Vietnam was the good guy here
Sebastian Hill

Why isn't the history of the US bombing the living fucking shit out of Cambodia taught in school?

>I have a vague notion that there are a lot of "ignorant rednecks" in this world, who are the personification of bigotry and stupidity. I have never met someone outside my gated community in real life, but the news media I consume assures me that they exist and are (along with the Russians) the cause of every failure on the part of my preferred political party.
Grayson Harris
they weren't jews
Nathaniel Fisher
It is taught. Not everyone is an American.
Connor Roberts
Way too sad.
Jayden Wilson
Because eurocentrism.

That's nothing, check out Laos.

>ethnic tensions were caused by Europeans creating artificial borders
>communism is great
This is the reason we have some many SJWs out there.
Julian Diaz
Yeah, fuck those flyovers reddit! I m-mean Veeky Forums!
Ryder Torres
because the US doesn't want to bring up a party that it both created and supported.
Michael Lee
It is. I learned about it in high school and I went a run-of-the-mill public school in US
Camden Edwards
Those heavy concentrations are all in jungle. Cambodian population lives mostly along the Mekong or the south coast. USAF was bombing NVA regulars and VC in the sticks.
Austin Rogers
Damn those fascist Americans for killing peaceful north vietnamese and chinese communists
Jordan Hughes
They were helping out the Cambodian nationalists by killing off PAVN faggots who operated out of jungles in bumfuck eastern Cambodia.
>Laos
Tony Poshepny is my personal hero.
Lucas Sullivan
>Tony Poshepny is my personal hero.
Because he failed at everything he ever tried, just like you?
Eli Cook
Why isn't it taught that commie Vietnamese defeated Pol Pot?
Jack Jones
Most accounts still record severe damage to the country overall.
Michael Gomez
What exactly did he fail at? He was BTFOing Pathet Lao for more than a decade even though both the Laotian commies and North Vietnam tried their hardest to kill him.
Gavin Ortiz
>What exactly did he fail at?
...You know Laos is still commie, right?
Levi Garcia
And this is Tony Poshepny's fault somehow? You do know that CIA ordered him out of the country in 1970 as a part of general deescalation even though he literally won every engagement he ever led?
Nathan Cruz
>Laos stays commie
>"w- we won guiz! U-S-A!"
Justin Morris
>Tony Poshepny was the president and foreign policy about Laos was created by him
Kayden Peterson
>fails to achieve victory
>"h-he didn't lose!! ;_;"
Nathaniel Baker
Look moron, when someone only fails at their task because someone else orders them to stop working on it then the person giving that order is at fault.
Carson Martin
Commies only won 5 years after Tony left so how is that his fault? The government was still non-communist in 1970.
Jayden Barnes
They propped them up in the first place and did nothing for years until Khmer Rouge started taking Vietnamese territory. Still better than China who went to war over their little genocidal friends getting outed, but still.
Kevin Wilson
>because the US doesn't want to bring up a party that it both created and supported.
Vietnamese communists created the Khmer Rouge, fuckface.
The US only ""supported"" it because Cambodia was China's buddy in SEA and ergo anti-Soviet.
Tyler Hill
Why do 56%érs run away and bury their dark history?
Austin Miller
it was in two different classes in hs we were taught about the bombing of Cambodia and the genocide

we learnt a lot about it in history class here in Australia actually
Jason Campbell
naturally, you were involved
Gavin Morales
Because no one cares?
Connor Jackson
Gavin Wood
I did in mine, what kind of backwater town did you live in to not learn about it?
Oliver Wood
I'd figure the people who would say that would love to hear about Commies being savage murderers.
