The U.S. military has a concept called "body count."
During Vietnam, success was measured not by territory held, not by political goals achieved, but by how many enemy combatants were killed.
Commanders were pressured to produce numbers.
Careers depended on the numbers being high.
So the numbers were made high.
"If it's dead and Vietnamese, it's VC."
This was not a fringe attitude.
Veterans testified to it.
Any dead Vietnamese body, combatant or civilian, man, woman, child, counted as an enemy kill if the unit needed the number.
Entire villages were entered into the body count column.
Farmers. Grandmothers. Children.
All classified as enemy combatants after the fact so the numbers looked good for headquarters.
This is what "winning" looked like in Vietnam.
Numbers on a spreadsheet.
Disconnected from any military or political reality.
A bureaucracy of death that generated reports that went up the chain of command to generals who knew they were false but passed them on anyway to politicians who knew they were false but cited them in press conferences anyway.
They built a machinery of systematic lying and called it a war.
And then they lost to the people the machine was designed to erase.

@underwoodxie96 is it possible to make the background transparent?

Creating this kind of pixel game asset animation is actually very simple.
First, use niji 7 to generate a pixel-art game character:
pixel art of an anime girl knight in blue and white armor, with pink hair, holding a sword and shield, in the style of pixel art. --ar 1:1 --niji 7
Next, use Nano Banana to create 9 different poses of the same character:
Generate a 3x3 grid on a pure white background, showing 9 different side-view poses of the same character.
Finally, use Grok to turn the 3x3 sheet into an animated sequence:
This is a 3x3 character sprite sheet containing 9 different poses of the same pixel-art character. Make each character move with subtle motion like an idle animation in a pixel game. Each frame should have slightly different movement rhythm and details, creating an overall GIF-like animated feel.

@SnazzyLabs @saradietschy I believe it was intentional, they let the bots run wild to increase engagements

Why does the US never try to bring freedom and democracy to North Korea?
Because North Korea can send freedom and democracy back.
