That makes sense. I was in middle school when it happened so that may also affect my perspective. I remember one of my friends who had family in New York absolutely losing it at school. I appreciate the responses though!

i was around the same age. I remember going to lunch and someone said the 2nd tower fell. I remember thinking "wow" but was too young to figure out all the implications. I wasn't even really political at all then, too young to know or care really. I had a friend who joined the army cause he wasn't too bright for school but was crazy good at languages so he was an interpreter, then he worked privately and he got blown up in Afghanistan. I do think about how 9/11 got him killed kinda indirectly and that makes me a lil sad, but also don't join the army and sure as fuck don't work for some private military mercs and one can avoid that.
