So, when are they going to read the names of the 2,666 U.S. soldiers?

Poor, nameless dupes sent to their deaths on a fool's errand. No special compensation fund for their families. Not a word of mention today.

BTW The 9/11 dead office workers were murder VICTIMS who deserve our sympathy and remembrance, but they were not HEROES. They were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

5. Kids in the Army

While I was in the Army, the body count was never talked about. All that was ever mentioned was that we were saving soldiers and killing terrorist. The thing that bothered me the most while on active duty was that most of the kids thought that we were in Iraq because of 9/11. All through basic training, it was constantly pounded into our heads that Iraq was the enemy because of the terrorist attacks. How convenient that they forgot to mention that the majority of terrorist were Saudi.
