It's sorta like watching A Bridge Too Far and hearing somebody ask what side the people with the blue berets and funny accent are supposed to be on.

And the Poles in Italy?!?! I've actually been accused of making that up!

Sadly, the study of history in the U.S. and especially military history is looked upon much the way that Victorian England stuided sex...everyone knows it happens, but if nobody discusses the horrid thing, then it will go away.
