    Explanation: While history is vast and multifaceted, horrors abound. In the US, undoubtedly, there has been land theft, slavery, and genocide in our history, and in no small amount. However, while ‘Vietnamese farmers’ is memeing it up a bit, we certainly did not win the Vietnam War, despite our brutal conduct therein.

    You don’t hear much about color symbolism in the US flag. Guess it just looked nice.

      There isn’t color symbolism in the US flag, which is why you never hear about it. They really were just the standard flag colors everyone was using, so we went with them too.
