No wringing of hands going on here, just a natural distaste for guys on the sidelines selling woof tickets. Attitude is just that, it doesn't win anything, only action does. Right now there are folks by the millions taking action right here in the target's center just by staying here and doing their thing. I'll take the actions of a forty year old secretary from Staten Island who was there and still gets on the ferry five days a week over the chest thumping from some kid a thousand miles away. It's her action not his or your talking that keeps us strong.

Nah, I'm not accusing you of anything. But I do disagree. Attitude, not action, is what lost Vietnam. Attitude, not the actions of the boots on the ground, is why we pulled out of Somalia, Yemen, Beirut, and every other State Department encouraged disaster. It is that lack of "bring it" attitude that has caused the international misconception that American's are afraid to bleed. It is attitude that presented the WTC as a fat juicy target for those who thought we would abandon Israel if we bled. They were wrong, just like the Japanese.

Truth of the matter, most American's love a fight. Not just New Yorkers.

You can go screw yourself with that one

I stayed on my Job, in one huge target, while 5 west coast bound airliners we unaccounted for. Sat here crunching numbers while the ETA for a Mach .87 projectile to reach my location came and passed. Don't even think New Yorkers are alone in the target club.
