I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

I learned all the states at a 4th grader. Perhaps earlier even. I generally believe this is not a case of people not being taught, but a case of people not paying attention or otherwise info-dumping information they don't think they need.

There was a point when i was in the military where I could literally write in the names of every country in the world on a blank map. It's been years since I had to do that and I wouldn't be able to do it now.

Well I’d certainly hope the people in the military get properly trained. You’d hate to confuse Austria and Australia or Georgia (state) and Georgia (country) if you ever needed to bomb or invade either one of them :D

It was not for the purposes of bombing. It was for the purposes of recognition of their military aircraft and weapons systems.
