9/11 coverup?

[Rhydderch Hael]

Behind the veneer of "college education" is a remarkable core of professionals.  The focus on competence can be traced back to the all volunteer army initiative of the 70's and 80's.

I note the word "core". If I was content with a cadre of experienced professionals, I wouldn't have complained. The broader infrastructure, however, is a different story. The one I've told.

Not sure what military you are disparaging in re readiness. 

This one:

America did not want to pay that price, ...

One nation's conscience may be put at ease when their warriors are— friendly. That makes it stand as the very antithesis of tyranny and despotism that America sees as it philosophical enemy in the world. But it didn't get the actual job done, though, and the reality of that hit home.


Mind you, like Chennault said, it would fall on part of the American people to bring about inquiry and change of their armed forces' policies and overall perspective. So, fault isn't to be laid upon the military— the misstep in national defense was the symptom. It would have to take all of America to exact a remedy. That didn't happen, so a "new and even more disasterous Pearl Harbor" did occur.

There is a problem in that. The military alone could not have changed that. Everyone had to have gotten on the ball with some rather hefty comprehensiveness that our complacency sadly supplied very little of.
