In high school I asked why tanks weren't such a thing in Vietnam. And my Vietnam veteran teacher worked it around to how Ho Chi Minh was ignored by everyone except the Russians after World War 1. Seeing how all the lines came together to make that happen and then make the Vietnam war feel almost as inevitable as it was forlorn really gave me a sense of history.

He was my math teacher. My history teacher literally put names and dates on a slide for us to copy.

History as it's taught in schools is awful. Even segments on WWII get reduced to nazis bad, holocaust bad, allies good then USSR went bad.

American history classes are such shit. I thought I hated the topic til I was an adult.
