I mean, I’m interested in military history, but I wouldn’t have put it in a standard curriculum. It’s not really a globally-significant event. You don’t have a whole lot of time allocated for history, much less military history, and you gotta triage what you cover. We had a very small amount of time for World War II, which was much-more significant, and I don’t think my classes even did the Korean War at all.
EDIT: It looks like The Operations Room did a video on YouTube on Operation Paul Bunyan. They kinda rely more on memoir stuff than would be my ideal, but they’re usually at least decent. I don’t think I’ve watched this one.
I’m more concerned with how teachers weight ancient vs contemporary history. I feel like most things taught are so far back in such a different era, the truths must be significantly tougher to find/grasp, right? So why the back toward current timeline chronology?

EDIT2: No memoir stuff in this one.

I mean, I don’t know about you, but I didn’t cover that much ancient history either.
