Vietnam was a mistake that 4 or 5 presidents made, depending on how you look at it.
It was a mistake made at the highest level that got tens of thousands killed, same way Trump's many mistakes will kill tens of thousands of people that wouldn't have died if we had had a competent president. Or even a half assed one like Bush2.
So you're only counting the deaths of the empire's soldiers as tragic. The millions of Asians who were killed by chemical weapons, starvation, and side effects from the chemicals are not tragic, in your opinion.
And killing innocent people and destroying their society was a "mistake," and not business-as-usual for America's elite, as far as your concerned. Just another "mistake" that leads to other "mistakes."
Donald Trump, if he really has sabotaged any kind of appropriate response to a tragedy, is just doing what any USA media-viewer would do: ignoring tragedy to concentrate on the people he actually cares about. And that's not you or me, but you don't care about out-group humans either, so suck it up now that you're just one more disposable number.
