The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as WWI and WWII or even the Civil War.
Five years ago is ancient history to most people these days! :doh:

I don't wish to be rude, but you reminded me of something that I saw on TV, about how, ten years after it happened, most Americans had completely forgotten about 9/11.
This wasn't some comedy TV show prank or something. It was a real, honest-to-goodness survey. They went around America interviewing people on the streets.
"What happened on September 11?"
"The world trade center was attacked!"
"Good. WHAT YEAR did it happen in?"
Most people had no idea.
Not that they're not aware of it, but that they forget the details so easily.
You got to understand the poor fella - he's born after his time (much like most of us).. only "his time" might involve some heavy duty espionage and words "Cold" and "war" joined together. [huh]The KGB is a state of mind. Even Putin thinks he's James Bond.
Yeah, I've heard of "blue" as an ice-cream flavour.The world officially went to hell the moment "blue" became a flavor.

In my days you had a choice:
1. chocolate
2. vanilla
3. no ice-cream :rofl:

One more thing I remeber - kids today.. Big Brother is a RealityTV to them, and has nothing to do with "1984" :doh:

On the other hand, "put it on vibrate" still sounds obscene to me.
I recently learned from a teacher friend of mine that cursive is not even being taught in many school systems today.
