Well, I was in the third grade when 9/11 happened, and there was never any kind of formal education about it, because we had all just experienced it. Kids just a few years younger than me wouldn't remember it at all, but likely still wouldn't have learned about it in school yet. That's probably where this guy falls

I had to do a bunch of my own learning about the gulf war. Similarly, it happened before I was born but recent enough that history teachers didn't consider it history. I now think it set the stage for a lot of the US geopolitically and I really should've learned about it in school.

Did ya tell him how much people went in circles trying to explain who did it but it was really territorial control and we kept switching who did it and then killed Osama bin Laden as a world distraction.
