His grasp of history is probably not that much worse than that of most everyone else his age.

He was probably traumatized by the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor in 1984.

Ryan Reynolds was probably REALLY traumatized at the Bay of Pigs fiasco in Granada in 1983!

That’s when the CIA tried to remove Cuban Dictator Ricky Ricardo from power.

I shudder at the thought that young voters today include the ones questioned by Johnny on Jesse Watters Primetime.

“Who was the first US President?” (Long pause). Bill Clinton?

“What King did the American colonist fight in the Revolutionary War?” King Tut. King Charles.

“What countries did the US fight in World War II?”
Ourselves. Viet Nam.

He meant that other Cuban missile crisis.

You know, the later one in the 1980s, which Sonny and Rico broke wide-open on “Miami Vice.”
