I was in my freshman dorm room when the first plane hit. Roommate and I saw it on the little TV we had. Went out into the hall and after we learned what had happened, everyone was saying we're going to war.
What really sticks with me is that President Bush was at an elementary school when he got the news. He was like reading to kids or something. I'm not sure I could write a better narrative for huge impact the event had on innocence. There was a lot of Bush hate before then and after then. People talking about how he was stupid or a Cheney puppet. But look at this dude's face as he walks into this room. The way he puffs air out of his cheeks before going to the podium. It's so fucking human.
It's funny that I now regret not acting on the impulse to join the military at that time. In my peer group of attorneys, I so respect the men and women who did join or have been part of their respective branches of the armed forces.
