Eddie,
As a point of fact, we may be coming from different points of view when it comes to education, as I can only say what I know locally (Vancouver BC). I've run post-apoc RPGs that use a Cold War background (WWIII involving the Soviet Union; in this case, The Morrow Project). The younger players (who are also not hardcore gamers) in their teens and twenties had learned about it school and were interested in the same way presumably we were about historical conflicts and periods we didn't live through, either. I mean, I was never around for WWII nor to any great extent the American-Vietnamese war but that didn't compromise my enjoyment RPGs and wargames based on these themes!
Agreed, if we don't like it, we can always draw the line to exclude any fact or comparison that doesn't fit our preferences. At this point, I think we're certainly agreeing to disagree.
