Interesting question, I know I was like 7-8 when we invaded Iraq, living in the south and definitely propagandized (I remember they played "Proud to be an American" in the cafeteria for weeks after 9/11)
I didn't know any better, afraid of/hated Muslims and remember asking a teacher why we didn't just nuke all of the Middle East ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I don't remember getting a rebuke at all.
Now I see how we were all played by the propaganda machine
Ok boomer lol
