And another example of how incredibly uninformed many people are.
I dont care what you believe, because you are flat out wrong. I know its a hard pill for some to swallow, but its called reality. The meat cleaver
that was taken to the military after the Cold War left us ill prepared for an attack on our own soil. You can ask any Air Force pilot who was
assigned to air defense here in the US in the late 90s....oh wait, I work with a bunch of them....and they will tell you that an attack like we saw on
9/11 was never seriously considered. Sure, it was included in some exercises...but no one ever really considered it valid.
Even today, we rarely load live weapons on our fighter jets, unless we are heading for the range.
