The Trade Center
The Pentagon
Flight 93
2,974 innocent people died. Another 24 still missing. Atleast one more person died thereafter due to lung disease related to dust created in the Trade Center attacks.
Then: I was in 8th grade spanish class. Watching the events unfold on the television. Watching the 2nd aircraft hit the South tower. I will always remember the name of a kid making jokes about the event up until the 2nd plane hit. He soon after began crying.
Now: Im a active duty servicemen in the United States Navy. Sworn to defend my country, family, loved ones, and all other innocent people in this world from ever having to live through another event such as this. I would proudly give my life knowing that I saved the life of a innocent person from the scum of the earth who would attempt to take the life of a innocent person so they can return to their loved ones.

I Retired from Active Duty Army in 1995. 20 Years.
On 9/11 I watched in horror as millions of many other Americans did at the attack.
I was so sickened at the sight of it... I went home from work pisssed, hurt and in tears.
On 9/12 I emailed/ Fax'd/ Called and mailed a Request to Return to Active Duty Status.
After numerous inquiries I finally received a response from DoD on 05/2002..
"Thank you for being a fine Patriotic American and willingly wanting to return to Active Duty in defense of our Country." "We are not accepting Retiree Recalls at this time."
Why take in a young kid when I know the the ropes?
I was willing to give up my Retirement and return as an E7 to help and lead. This still leaves a bitter taste.
To all that lost Loved ones in the attack, may GOD Bless you and comfort you for your loss.
To those that have and are now serving... GOD Bless you.

We Will Never Forget!

then: the country was united for about 3 months
now: over a third of the idiots in the world think the CIA and this admin pulled off the attack so that we could steal Iraqs oil..
sad isn't it

9/11 was a sad day for me, I stared in shock and disbelief. 6 years later some things have gone wrong with the US Strategy, but I am still all for fighting world terrorism.
This problem still needs to be front and center. It's not about the oil, it's about cowards attacking innocents. The latest attack was at an airport in Scotland............

Actually its a sad day period. I do not believe that Al-Quadi was the only thing involved. I also am not an idiot. Good day to you, and may you be safe well into the future.

I will never understand why people think our goverment killed hundreds of their own people, caused millions of dollars of damadge, and risk everything just get get Iraq's oil. It's just stupid.

We have met the enemy, and he is us.
The laws passed, the acceptance of our erosion of liberties, these have done more actual damage to us as a nation than the attacks themselves.

Thank you for your service BlueJ1

The best answer to the crazy conspiracy theorists is the simple fact that Osama Bin Laden believes he organised it and is still releasing videos of the hijackers. Or maybe people think OBL is an agent for the CIA?
I would go so far to say that anyone who believes the United States government had any hand, act or part in 9/11 is a fool. What part of the glaring evidence isn't convincing? Two planes flying into the buildings live on TV. The witnesses? Al Qaeda admitting it was them?
I cannot understand how any half intelligent person can believe it was a giant conspiracy by Americans against Americans. :furious

We are facing an arduous enemy. Not only is he trying to kill us, he is also trying to bleed us dry economically. Osama himself has said this.
It is no great mystery that societies crumble from within. We are almost following in the exact footsteps of Rome. We are fighting an external enemy (Middle Easterners), while letting in a parasitic enemy (multitudes of mexicans).
Its a 2-front war, and I hope this 9/11 we can reflect on the sacrifice made by our servicemen and try to better our country.

Mac,
I got the same reply as well. :(
BlueJ,
Welcome to the adult world and kudos for serving.

Blue to you and to anyone who wears the uniform past, present, and future, you have my sincere thanks and respect
.
I could write a three page dissertation of my feelings about 9/11 and the aftermath thereof but my friends (Mac, etc..) know my feelings without me having to speak them.
All I want is for all of our service men and women to come home safe and hopefully whole and for all of the terrorists, insurgents, etc, and their 'holy' leaders to go home in a bodybag.
The sooner the better.

It's scary to think that a rogue group of uneducated, poorly equipped foreigners could do so much damage in one fell swoop. In order to believe that that is what happened you must also understand that this could happen again any time, anywhere...
It's much more convenient to believe that the only way this could have been done was by a well-trained well-equipped machine of OUR making.
9/11 conspiracy theorists have their heads firmly planted in the sand.

Sad, very Sad. The expertise that was turned down was unmeasurable at all costs.
BTW I have hiden in a box that I refused to open any longer, stuck in the far back of my closet, my Discharge from Active Duty signed by Bill Clinton.
If he had had more Balls than Cigars maybe this would never have happened.
Who knows.

Thanls Yknurd, I appreciate the sentiment. So what can we do to fix the systemic deconstruction of our country? In language others might understand, how can we protect ourselves without destroying the very thing that makes us who we are?
I choose to suffer no fools gladly. Evil prospers when good people say or do nothing.

Here is a fine example of CHIT!
My wife is Korean, I have many Brother in Laws, 5 Brothers. I've hunted with them, drank with them and seen their children come into the World.
My wifes youngest Sister married a man from Bangledesh, a Muslim. She now lives in Canada and wears a frikken Burka.
On 9/11 6 Years ago he was visiting my 2nd Brothers house as this tradgety happened. All my Brothers were there. He actually got up and was praising the hijackers and Allah. My Brothers beat the living watermelon out of him... they let him live to remember one thing. Rejoice again and you will Die.
I just received a phone call from my Sister in Law and she wanted to talk to my wife... I heard this stunninghunk chuckling in the background.
I want to load up the Jeep and travel to Canada to get really personal with him.
What kind of watermelon to call up on 9/11 and chuckle....?

Mac, dont be to disgruntled about them not taking you.
They want fresh pawns to program, not a old war dog who already knows the tricks and would be most likely to tell his commander to sit on the long end of a m16.
At any rate, if things get realy bad here on the home front, ill rest better knowing we have people like you STILL here, if ever things get bad enough that we need you.
And about you wife's sister, that is the rule of the land, they take you and convert you, teach you hate * ignorance blind faith and love for a satan god. Or they put a bullet in your head and call YOU evil.
Ill be a dead man before i ever denounce my lord, the only thing is i am unwilling to slaughter or murder someone else regardless of what they preach.
Some day, one side will give.
I prey it is not ours. :aok

A quibble, perhaps, BadKarma, but it's the same God. They call him a different name, but say explicitly that they're worshipping the same god. And as far as all the genocide advocated in this and the 'caption this' thread from today, that's just creating ammunition that anyone could use to argue that there's no moral superiority in the "stop islam" argument.
A note, I neglected to pass along my thanks for your service as well, BlueJ1. Your actions and those of the folks you work with make our freedom possible, and I thank you for it.

A salute to those who have fallen before, and to those who still live, and to those who are yet to be. They make our country safe, they fight our battles for us, they protect this country from evil. American soldiers shall never be forgotten.
May God protect them all, keep them safe, and help guide this nation through these times of trial. Amen.

You're not very smart are you? This isn't a shades account, I've never hidden behind a shades account.
[edit] and it's pretty funny that you accuse me about a shades account. aren't you the liar and accountable for three or four other 'personalities' on this board?

Thanks alot guys. I appreciate it.
But this wasnt started to be a look at me thread. I just wanted yall to remember the place and what you were doing at the time of the attacks. Im glad some of yall turned a thread about remembering the victims of 9/11 by turning it into a witch hunt. Congratulations.

In my sophomore year of college, I ran into an old friend at a regatta in New York. He was attending west point. We got talking about what we were doing with ourselves. He began to talk about his waining dedication to his service due to the hard work he needed to put in.
But then he said that his team took a trip past ground zero coming in on friday, and he remembered exactly why he's doing it. He remembers sitting in class exactly 4 years previous just as I had watching the towers get hit and go down.
Unfortunately, the full might, intelligence, power and wrath of the United States were never unleashed on the Muslim world. For it would have been a terrifying thing.
