Yeah man, they teach history, not military history, just history. My teacher was pretty cool, but whenever we would talk about war or combat in WWII on the Russian front, he'd always say "the Russian version of the Thompson Submachinegun" as opposed to "PPSh". I would say something like "it was called a PPSh and wasn't very much like a Thompson, but that's just the weapon system and doesn't have much to do with the lesson, so continue." They're not there to teach you about guns and uniforms, you're supposed to learn about everything else, really.
