Quote:9/11 wasn't a "defeat" because it wasn't a battle or even part of a war. It was a tragedy, and is remembered as a tragedy just like many others are. Innocent civilians lost their lives...that's why we remember.
We pull the same thing every year with Pearl Harbor, Divi Tiberio. We weren't at war then, either.
But, WTF. We celebrate the end of WWI with mattress and car sales.
