I have to give special love to Firebomb because I know how hard that was to do. For anybody interested more on how the Vietnam war connects to extremism globally, I recommend a book called, "Bring the War Home," by Kathleen Belew. So much white supremacy and nationalist extremism globally connects to the Vietnam war. We really need a global alliance against white supremacy. Anyway incredibly done.
