    Too late. I have an automatic negative reaction when I see an American flag now. 77 million+ Americans made sure of that.

        I went to school with the kids of those troops, so my perspective’s a bit different.

          I did too, and I heard a lot of people in my school only enlisting to kill Iraqi’s… I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened, so we had a few years to let the anger fester before people were able to get out of school and legally go over.

            I never heard that kind of thing, but I was around them in the mid-90s. A different time.
