For those commenting about how the American soldiers feel over there and how they are pissed and don't want to be there... you couldn't be more wrong. When you're in the military, you know that there's a chance you will be going to war. Especially the people who signed up after 9/11/2001. They accepted this and wanted to fight for their country. THERE IS NO DIRECT LINK BETWEEN THE WAR IN IRAQ AND THE ATTACKS ON THE U.S. ON 9/11.
For those who keep talking about the innocent lives lost in Iraq because of the U.S. : Where's the love for the innocent lives lost in Iraq because of what Saddam was doing? You do realize that it was worse before he was captured, don't you?
I'm not here to make the United States seem like some amazingly perfect country. No country is perfect. No government is perfect. Every country is run by humans and no human is perfect. There will always be problems with any government. Stop talking down to the Americans on this board like you're country is SO much better. We're ALL EQUAL. Love your country. Support your country. If there's something you don't like about your country/government, try to help change it.
The attacks on September 11th, 2001 were horrifying. I lost an uncle and an aunt in the Alfred P. Murrah building bombing in Oklahoma City in 1995 and our family was in on the search and rescue. The sights I saw that day will never leave me.
The reason people say never forget is so that we can do our best to prevent something like this from happening again in the future. Knowledge is power.
Shame on you @ssholes who came in here and turned this into a political debate. This was meant as a memorial post and you had to f*cking ruin it. Good job. American citizens take pride in their country, just like most people from other countries. Don't disrespect the CITIZENS for mistakes the GOVERNMENT makes. Get a life.
