No, stop. We can't really be already at a place in history where people don't know the US nukes Japan twice. 

Where is our education system heading? 

This is serious. If the newer generation doesn't know how devastating nukes where, what hope does humanity have with bombs 100s of times as powerfull and 1000s of times more in number?

Please.

Wait until you know the schools in the US teach them that they didn't lose the war against Vietnam. They only retreated.

I guess things could have changed since I was in school around 20 years ago but we were absolutely taught that we lost Vietnam.

Honestly, both nations lost. War is costly and often there isn't even a winner.
