Yeah that's the part that I always find odd. We memorialize the day we were attacked, but not the day we won the ensuing war. I mean in this case obviously we didn't actually 'win' the ensuing war. But we had mission accomplished day didn't we? Doesn't that count for something?
Ok seriously. I get that lots of people had friends and relatives that lost their lives during the events of that particular day. I get that. But everyone has lost people at one point or another. So why do the 9/11 people have license to do things like this:
Quote:Fuck you. I knew people who died that day. And you're nothing more than a piece of shit who wants to look 'brave' for taking a 'controversial' stance. Well fuck off.
I mean if someone said they were looking forward to going out and shooting some turkey on February 12th and I freaked out on them and said fuck you you piece of shit, my aunt Helen loved turkeys and she was killed by a meth head on February 12th how can you be so insensitive you fucking fuck yada yada yada.... Well that would be insane. But why is aunt Helen's death any less senseless or painful to remember for those involved?
