8. Take a bunch of ignorant late teenagers who've never voluntarily opened a book
in their lives and have never set foot outside their home state before joining the military and send them to one of the world's great archeological sites.
All they see is a bunch of old ruins.
At the time of the invasion, I read an article by an embedded Japanese journalist who was in a truck going down the road with some American military personnel. He saw a sign in Arabic and English pointing to the ruins of Babylon and was all excited. The ruins of Babylon!
The Americans had no idea what he was talking about.
