Who was the most ignorant American you have ever met?

A gentleman I have just had a discussion with on Quora, first name David. I’ll not mention his last name since I don’t want to embarrass him, but he seemed to be under the impression that Australians had never fought in any fields of war “in my lifetime”. I told him that I hope he didn’t bet too much on that wager, since he quite definitely lost.

I should have taken his bet, hey?

My whole family are ANZACS since WW1 and recent wars where I personally lost relatives and friends have been from the Korean War onwards through to the end of the recent Middle East conflict. I am now retired and in my mid-60’s. It seems there is always a horrific war somewhere on earth and we Australians so often get roped in to go there. David (from Delaware), however, seemed blissfully unaware of that.
