>>Brave Americans???
Some would argue the men who sacrificed themselves flying planes into buildings were brave. They certainly didn't fear death<<
Bobo my friend. You want to talk brave? There was a 26-year-old pararescueman serving in Afghanistan named Jason, I didn't know him but I knew his wife, I went to high school with her.
When our Chinook helicopter was brought down Jason was one of the guys who worked for 2 days bringing back the dead and wounded. He was killed on the 2nd day. When I think about what he did for his country and his fallen brothers, it brings me to my knees.
You wanna talk brave? Try writing a letter to your wife and kids telling you how much you love them and that if they are reading the letter it means you are dead but you'll never stop loving them.
You wanna talk brave? Try being a widowed single mom, serving in the military, suddenly having to raise 2 kids on your own.
A group of thugs planning mass murders, hiding like snakes with boxcutters, slashing women's throats to gain access to an airline cockpit isn't my definition of bravery.
Maybe it's yours, and if it is, I'll give you one thing I've not given you previous to your last post, my pity.
Thanks Jason, some of us in America appreciate your ultimate sacrifice.
