And so here we are

Eight years later, after I was woken up by my room-mate who burst into my bedroom and yelled "Dave, terrorists just attacked the World Trade Center!" I still remember that day clearly. Since we didn't have TV, we walked over to Rob's, our neighbor, and knocked on the door. He was upset that we'd woken him up until we told him what was going on. Then we all just watched the news. I remember sipping coffee and staring at the TV screen when the second tower fell, and Rob muttering under his voice "This is war. This is war. This is war."

None of that has changed. It's still war. We're still fighting a group of people who would kill us if they had the chance. They declared war on us decades ago, and they have never ONCE surrendered. They have never ONCE called it off. They have never ONCE said "Whoops! My bad, it was the other Great Satan we wanted to kill. You guys have a nice one, OK? Peace out, my homies!"

DANEerus has already posted about how the new Rules Of Engagement are killing our military. Just like they did in Somalia. Just like they did in Viet Nam. Once again, the a Democrat American Communist Party member President is showing why the entire political party cannot be trusted with military matters. But even more, it's showing that they JUST. DON'T. GET. IT. They don't get it at all. The war is still going on, but the Left wants to quit. It wants to surrender. It wants to be nice to the poor, misunderstood Taliban. It wants to run away, hide under the bed and suck it's thumb and whine about how the bad man won't leave them alone. Well no shit, Nancy-boy! That's what bullies do; THEY ATTACK THE WEAK, and anyone who looks weak becomes a target.

Don't forget, Afghanistan is the "good" war. This was the war the Democrat American Communist Party said they could support! The fucking liars.

Do NOT be lulled to sleep by the sniveling whimpers of the Democrat American Communist Party. They want to declare this war over. They want to run home, crying like a three year old girl. They want to forget it ever happened, because September 11th was the day that set all the gears in motion to expose the Left for the anti-American fucksticks they truly are.

Remember the anti-military protests in 2003 and 2004? Remember how shocked the Not In Our Name nitwits were when there were actual counter-protesters at their protests, and the counter-protesters outnumbered the protesters? They still haven't gotten over that.

Remember how shocked the Left was when millions of Viet Nam vets rose up against John Fonda Kerry and said "Not a chance, you back-stabbing son of a bitch!" They still haven't gotten over that.

Remember how shocked the Left was when they whined "Surrender! Surrender! Give up! Run away!" and this country in effect looked at them and said "Man up, you wimpy little bitch!"

They still haven't forgotten that.

But there does seem to be one thing they've forgotten, or at least would like to:


Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to give a retreat workshop for a bunch of Soldiers, many of whom signed up after September 11th. I don't know if I'll have internet. I don't know if I'll even post this weekend. But I'll walk onto that plane today with the events of eight years ago planted firmly in my head, and the simple phrase "NEVER AGAIN!" ringing in my ears.
