Ok, so they weren't available on 9/11. Why they were not has never been adequately responded to beyond "failure of imagination" and despite drills and exercises to the contrary.

And all of this is kind of pointless anyhow - what did we expect the military to do? Standing orders were to escort hijacked planes; Shooting them prior to that morning wasn't an option.

Shoot down orders aren't in question here anyhow... and I don't know the minutes you're referring to specifically. I just know that from first notifications by anybody to anybody else, there were very little response actions and recognition of those.
I don't know what "standing orders" were or are... but it seems they're to assist when notified.

The military's responses on these matters have been rebutted, I think.
And al the coincidences and what not that I bring up give a point to the conspiracy theorists and such - those who doubt the official story, at any rate.
Every point I've personally brought up about that day have not been "shot down".
- The presence of molten metal under the rubble
- The presence of aerosolized iron in the dust
- The presence of thermate in the dust
- The presence of explosions before the impacts and.or collapses
- And more...
It seems to me that many of the good questions about that day and the popularly accepted theory just don't get much air time or consideration...
:D
