The post-9/11 social transformation of America was one of the most bizarre and terrifying things I've ever lived through, especially since I allowed my 16 year old self to get swept up in it.

I felt something weird back in the late nineties. saving private ryan and the wash of "good war" nostalgia and... as weird as it sounds Tom Brokaw getting a real short, almost martial haircut. I was in the military and all the professional journals were spinning wildly looking for a new enemy to justify their programs' existence. I felt that it was a powder keg waiting a for a match.

when the Cole was bombed, i thought that would kick it off.
