US government observes 9/11 anniversary.

  In various places about the nation,  many politicians are making their presence known at gatherings.  Some are obviously sincere, hile others
    IMO, are merely "stuffed shirts", going through the motions...and caring less.

   On 9/11/2021, we were savagely attacked, by terrorists who sneaked into our country, to deal death to as many Americans as possible..

   So, just how sincere are they, and who are the "stuffded shirts"? Can we deduce one from the other?

     Well, terrorists are now in far greater numbers, simply walking across our borders! Hardly any need to 'sneak' anymore..

   OK; so answer for yourself...   Which elected "leaders" are allowing them to cross virtually unhindered?  ..And which ones are trying to stop the
   terrorists from gaining easy entrance?

       Is this exactly what Pres Washington warned us of..that the danger of "political parties", is that eventually some parties would as soon put the
     whole nation in jeopardy, so their chosen "party" may gain power?

the main memory i have is the fact that in following weeks there were line ups at recruiting offices and that it is probably the last time stupid differences were put aside and we stood up as the UNITED States of America. i fear the next time something like this happens all the rifts between us will have us doing nothing but blaming each other and waiting for someone else to do the dirty work

   That's a legitimate thought, Lloyd...

Well now the military issues a set of high heels and lipstick instead of an m16...
