These beach bozos put up a memorial to their cluelessness.<\/p>\n

Fox News\u2019 \u201cJesse Watters Primetime\u201d was back on the beaches for Memorial Day finding the dumbest GenZ revelers in California \u2014 just months after pulling off a similar stunt with Florida\u2019s spring breakers. <\/p>\n

Many of the college-aged merrymakers didn\u2019t even realize which American holiday they were supposed to be celebrating.<\/p>\n

And any basic history about the wars that Americans fought and died in? Forget about it. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I thought it was Veteran\u2019s Day,\u201d one bright-red-bikini-clad young woman obtusely remarked in the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And the meaning behind the holiday? These kids had no clue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMemorial Day is\u2026it\u2019s America\u2019s birthday,\u201d one young man confidently told Fox producer Johnny Belisario.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cUm, that\u2019s a good question,\u201d another young woman said, before blaming her non-response on \u201can edible\u201d she\u2019d taken before arriving on the Los Angeles beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who did Americans fight during the Revolutionary War? Not a concern to these beach-goers \u2013 whose responses included France and \u201courselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, if you probably give me a couple of hints, I\u2019d probably know,\u201d one shirtless man suggested, to which Belisario offered: \u201cKing and queen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But even that wasn\u2019t enough to get the wheels turning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOh man, you\u2019ve got me bro,\u201d the young man said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His ignorance apparently didn\u2019t stop there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat were they fighting over in the Civil War?\u201d Belisario asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWas it something that was very popular around that time? Is it still around in this time?\u201d the partier said, then hemmed and hawed before gobsmackingly guessing: \u201cDinosaurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna go with taxes,\u201d another young man replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The answers didn\u2019t improve when the beach-goers were asked who Americans fought in World War II.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAlbania,\u201d one woman said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cRussia,\u201d another responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cVietnam,\u201d one man said \u2013 but not before the bikini-clad woman on his arm warned him: \u201cYour dad would be so mad if you didn\u2019t know this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who bombed Pearl Harbor? According the respondents, Americans did.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked who won the Cold War, the answers ranged from Russia to New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One young man even insisted that war got its name because \u201cit was snowing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played games called \u2018The Cold War\u2019 so that I know,\u201d he remarked \u2013 and then said \u201cthe New Jersey bomber\u201d was behind the War on Terror.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Outraged Americans flooded the viral video\u2019s comment section.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no excuse for these young people to be this stupid,\u201d one person opined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another suggested that passing a US civics test should be required for Americans to be able to vote.\u00a0<\/p>\n
