With almost 20 years since the masterminds of AQ and the Taliban taking down the Towers in New York City, the Pentagon attack and yes there was a plane set to attack the White House until some brave passengers decided to take control of the plane and display the true passion of what being an American is all about, the same passion those men and women who bravely entered those towers with not a 2nd thought about their own safety to try and save as many people as they could before the towers crumbled.
I wish I could have just done what I normally do and just have everyone post in the FFA for a memorial but I am afraid those days are gone now.
I think we all saw some of the footage and pictures of what went down in Afghanistan in the last week, it speaks for themselves without an MoP monologue/editorial and lighting Biden up like a Christmas Tree, it won't really help things.
Very sad that this is the story leading up to 9/11 in the Middle East. I wondered if others are pretty off put realizing that 20 years is coming up and we just did a Saigon leaving Afghanistan? The images of the fighters in our soldiers gear walking inside the airport hangers and it just sickens you knowing the horror that people will face...already door to door knockdowns and executions, State TV already had terrorists with machine guns in their studios ordering them what to say on TV, folks singers executed, priests hung from helicopters already, the ones we left behind, police chiefs executed in front of their towns and all to send a message that they are now back in charge.
Not much to feel good about 20 years later and it's awfully hard to rally folks at home to fight anything abroad when they are embarrassed and openly project hate towards the country they live in here in America. That is where we are at, fractured down the middle some 20 years later.
