People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I can understand why someone would ask who the good guys were in WW1.

It's a question that shows a childlike understanding of war in general, but that's how war is often sold. A team sport with body bags.

That said, WW1 is hard to pick a "good" side. It was a mess of a war, but no side was particularly vile when compared to the others...

But for a US president, there's only one valid answer.

A US president can admit that Vietnam was not a shining moment is US history, but the world wars? No.
