No they don't. They know all about it and accept it as having been a major helping hand. They actually study their own history in school: Shock horror!
Lafayette, the best known French commander during the war of independence has schools, streets, a class of nuclear ballistic missile submarines and even towns named after him. Where do you think the 82nd Airborne are stationed and the home of US SF might be? Yup; Fort Bragg, Lafayetteville, North Carolina.
You are talking rubbish!

Americans I worked with at Greenham Common were woefully ill informed about their own history. It led to some very heated debates.
Maybe the US education system has changed since those blokes went through it?
It's the same with John Gaspard Le Marchant. Born in France by a French mother. Lived in Guernsey. Father of 10 children.
Set up Sandhurst and died in the Battle of Salamanca in 1812 after destroying the left wing of Napoleon's Army in the Peninsular War.
the average American rube is fully convinced the a war of Independence was fought by handful of brave Americans with American accents and 100% popular support against British invaders who were SS Stormtroopers in red coats.

€28 billion?
That will make such a dent in the UK’s €2 Trillion+ economy

How are they able to predict those numbers?

It’s like to projected losses of Brexit they pushed out. The calculation they used was as simple as 90% of GDP is domestic. 6% of GDP is linked to exports to rest of the world. 4% of gdp is linked to exports to the EU.
They simply pushed out the figure that a bite for Brexit will result in a 4% loss of GDP.

Factoid. Many of the PW were Black (NAZI) and after an escape attempt was discovered they were sent to the PW Barracks at Cultybraggan. I used to go there as an Army Cadet, Great days.
Edited to add, Well this I never knew

Exactly, the author is clearly a Brexit hater & forecasting during a pandemic is like pi$$ing in the wind.
Many of the MSM, pundits & bloggers but not all are simply seeking excuses for the UK to fail, unfortunately many I might add within our own shores.

Yes. He started with the Wiltshire Militia. That Commission cost £500. He then went Regular and ended up with the Royal Scots in Dublin, then Gibraltar. Eventually, having been given a free promotion or two by King George III, he went to the Cavalry and commanded a Brigade of Heavy Cavalry until his death at Salamanca. His son was his ADC and laid him to rest in an olive grove near the city.
By mere serendipity, his Cavalry Regt became the Queen's Bays where my father served in 1950 in Fallingbostel.
I was in Salamanca Coy at Sandbags in 1978. A bit spooky, really.

I don’t doubt there will be problems. Nothing that can’t be overcome.
How avoidable those problems are will be up to interpretation and debate. How many of these problems were avoidable had those nefarious forces that tried to delay and stop it had not been at play?
How would the shop issue in NI, who everybody in NI I speak to tell me isn’t that bad, have worked out had Blair and Co not advised the EU to play up?
How would Scottish fish exporters have been impacted had the SNP actually done the preparation to succeed instead of engineering failure?

Indeed. The Brigadier at Sandbags lives at Le Marchant House. The end of the parade square known as Chaos Corner is actually Le Marchant Square and the Comdt's smartest conference room is also named after him. A visitor as a guest of honour went by the name of Macron.
