Ha! Unfortunately the same could be said for the average college student in regard to virtually all wars. I recall talking to a friend who was a junior at the U of I when I was a second year law student. I made a passing reference to Grant and Lee. She didn’t know which sides they had fought on in the Civil War. This was in 1981 and I rather suspect that the knowledge abyss when it comes to history has deepened for the average student since then.
