Today is the 19th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. I've spent most of it in tears. You know why? Because I never thought I'd live to see the day when I looked back on such an anniversary nostalgically. Here we are though. "What's with that", you ask? The September 11th attacks of 2001 formed a national crisis that brought us together as a nation!! When I look at America today, I see us in crisis now too...but I don't see unity anymore. Instead, I see a nation on the verge of civil war.
In response to the 9/11 attacks, say what you will about these efforts, but we used our military to attack our enemies. Today, we instead use our military to attack each other! The army gets deployed on our streets here at home to quell social discontent. By a president who, as we have recently learned with more clarity than ever, hates our troops!! (They deserved to die, you know? Pssh, suckers!) Remember when we were one nation? Remember when we used to stand up for ourselves against our enemies instead of defending them when they help murder our soldiers? (Haha, losers!) Remember when national crises brought us together instead of being used to tear us apart and turn us against our allies and against each other? Remember when we were America?!
I disown this America. This isn't my country. My country is the one my dad fought for, and he wasn't a worthless loser, he was a patriot who believed in concepts like honor and duty that the current occupant of the Oval Office could never begin to understand or dream of living up to in a million years. He was drafted to serve in Vietnam, but he didn't make up shit about "bone spurs", he did his duty whether or not he believed in the mission. He never really recovered either physically or psychologically and those of us who loved him paid the price. That's what his country did for him, but he never stopped believing in it anyway. That's what honor looks like! What a loser, amirite? What a nation of grade-A SUUUUUUCKERROOOOONNIIIEEESSSS, HAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAA!!! Funny, right?! It's HILARIOUS to kill people and then mock their corpses because they're just other Americans anyway! It's not like they're respectable hostile foreign dictators who hate us and everything we've ever stood for!
Gee, I wonder why our active-duty service members, normally a Republican bunch, seem to be leaning toward supporting Biden, the Democrat, in this election.
Talk me down. Somebody talk me down! I'm seriously struggling to control my rage right now.
