Those people in both World Wars knew what they were going in to, richard head. The victims of 9/11 were just innocent workers who expected that day to be just another day in the office at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. That's not to say that I don't feel bad for the World War veterans, but seriously, who deserves more sympathy, the soldiers who went to war knowing that they faced possible death, or the average people like you and me who had no idea? And for the record, if I mourne anyone from WWII, I mourne the victims of Pearl Harbor and the innocent Japanese who had nukes dropped on their heads.
What are you talking about? A LOT of people were DRAFTED against their will into war, teens who didn't know how to fight or shoot. Same with Vietnam, and even more teenagers died on that battlefield, a long way from home with no idea why they were fighting. Sure, killing civilians is not something that can go by, they were innocent and obviously didn't deserve to get their stuff wrecked, but don't be so ignorant about the people that died in the war. These civilians were murdered, the Soldiers died for the good of the free world, to preserve your freedom (Vietnam can be argued, but forget you on calling out WWII).
I'll honor the Soldier, who served the people, who protected the people, and died for the people. Not the innocents who died in an attack for no reason, or even for the people on the planes who could have stopped the whole thing from even happening. I don't honestly know what happened on that plane (probably a lot of praying, and not a lot of fighting), but the terrorist pilots were obviously in good enough condition to fly it into a building, which means there was a severe lack of ass-kicking on our part (Weren't the terrorists armed with
knives?).
To summarize my stance: Stop dwelling on it, get the forget over it.
