Was sitting on my Grandmas back porch reading the paper having a cup of coffee and a breakfast roll.

Just heard about the plane crashing into the South Tower and thought os an Aircraft malfunction. 20 minutes later the second crash.

A few minutes later 4 F-15's from Wright Pat took off with White and Red missiles attached. This ain't no game.

All I could think was AW S#!T.

I always felt the U.S. was lax in the area of protecting resources. When I was stationed in Europe I noticed the attention Dams and Power Plants received.

We in America tended to be lackadaisical in protecting our soft areas after winning WW2. We found out about the Religion of peace in a hurry. I am also sure that the learned knew of this and told superiors and were told they were paranoid.

The "unfounded" paranoia caused the death of 3000 plus citizens. When gauging a situation I tend to err on the side of safety and security.

Just a little something I learned in the Military.

Best wishes, Bill
