To Quote 'So where exactly is Bataan on the map? I'll wager most won't know'.
Why do you assume MOST people don't know? I'm in the UK and and I know about 'Bataan', the tunnels etc. How McArthur escaped in spite of his asserting 'we can hold' etc and also about 'Corregidor' and they only took off specialists and so forth! Perhaps you should have qualified it by saying 'most young people' won't know.
