I remember growing up and every history class seeming to end at the end of ww2 and being like… ok but then what? Or just like other things around too… like I knew there was more to history than this but it’s all we ever fucking talked about. Didn’t help that this was during that period where the gaming industry was churning out ww2 shooters constantly, I was so fucking sick of it lol

The only context we talked about Korea or Vietnam in school was about the domestic policy and protests because of them. Nothing about the wars themselves.

Yup. Went to a great public school, I was in AP history

We had literally nothing about anything post WWII

We didn’t even make it that far lol. Only in college.

This would make a great vox pop, like imagine a guy with a mic standing in Times Square asking, “Why do you think the North Koreans hate us?” and then after they answer saying, “Did you know we killed 20% of their population, targeting civilians, within living memory?”
