    There are practice tests you can take . I bet you can pass it.

      Why did the United States enter the Vietnam War?

      Not the easiest kind of question to answer with multiple choice…

        That was my thought too.

      Passed that one. It was a little harder than the practice test, but I think it’s about a middle-school level difficulty.

          Born here, stuck here.

          Anyway, how well do you think American political awareness compares to political awareness of other countries? I honestly haven’t looked yet.

            Probably similar to other countries, but the stakes are so much higher because of the $2 billion military budget.
