      It's also entirely possible the dude was such a dumbass he conflated the US invasion of Afghanistan with the Iraq one.

            I dunno dude, I think the average US citizen should be able to distinguish between the Iraq and Afghanistan wars atleast, especially if they were adults at the time.

                Seriously, it's mind numbing how fucking stupid and unaware americans are about most of the world.

                I have american relatives who at the ripe age of 20, still end arguments with me by saying 'yeah well our army could beat your british army'... It's like having a conversation with an 11 year old.

                The younger kid, who was about 15 last time I met him, once asked if we had water and waves in England.

                  I worked with this chud, from rural Ohio, and we had a coworker who was Korean. It was a landscaping company, they were both tree climbers (pruning, removals, chainsaws, the whole 9 yards).

                  This chud was making small talk with the Korean guy and asked if they had trees in Korea. It still makes me laugh thinking about it

          I feel like I'd be more likely to remember the country if my brother was in it.
