Yes they did. And I suppose that was the wise thing to do. But it was not the inspiring thing to do. Such actions do not rally the nation.
Contract that with the behavior of Rudy Giuliani on 9/11. Rudy wasn’t in some command bunker somewhere. He was right there on the front lines. One of the buildings actually collapsed not too far from where he was standing.
Was Rudy foolish? Maybe. But so was Churchill, and so many others. I’ll take courageous and foolish over the alternative any day.
No disrespect meant to any other view. As the saying goes, your mileage may vary.
The Queen Mum famously refused to leave London during the Blitz.
“Rudy wasn’t in some command bunker somewhere. He was right there on the front lines.”
Rudy wasn’t in charge of protecting the nation. I Don’t want the president “inspiring” in the middle of an attack.
