As Admiral Yamamoto once said, could now be said by the Jihadists. "We have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve".

I was really happy to see footage from 9/11, including the second plane hitting the towers, on Penn and Teller's Showtime show "Bull****!" last night during a show on conspiracy theories (dealing with nuts that think it was all a government conspiracy) to remind people about the reality of that day. I think the news blackout on those pictures is a form of propaganda that hopes that Americans will forget. I won't.

He bounced out of the gunner’s hatch of his armored humvee, removed his helmet to assess the desert landscape of Forward Operating Base Bernstein, Iraq, and made his observation.

“Man, I would love to plant some tomatoes out here,” said U.S. Army Spc. James Letohic, scout, 42nd Infantry Division command group personal security detail. “They’d get as big as basketballs!”

Unfortunately, there are apparently two giants that have been awoken in the U.S. One giant wants to defeat the enemies of the United States. The other giant wants to defeat the United States.

Two things connect me to this guy...

“They’d run the sirens, thinking a building was going to fall,” Gaudioso said. “You’d have to drop whatever you were doing and run.”

I worked GZ before the 42ID got there and he is right about the fear that Liberty Plaza was going to come down and the blasts on the sirens warning that they thought it was happening. The difference was that we were in the pit for much of the time and there was no way of running for cover. It took fifteen minutes to crawl, climb into the pit, and there was no easy way out. All we could do when the sirens blasted was hunker down and pray. We left late at night on the 13th as the ANG trucks were pulling in. It was still wild but we had nothing left to give by then.

Another eerie happening there was that whenever there was even the smallest sign of life from the rubble someone would blow a lifeguard whistle and all work on the pile would stop. Everyone would hold his breath as a FF near the point of contact would call out "Firefighter...what's your name!" then listen for an answer that never came. After a minute of calling without response the whistle would blow again and we'd get back to work.

The other connection...42ID HQ at FOB Danger in Tikrit flies a flag that I took to GZ and ran up the pole right before they deployed then donated to them.

Everytime this forum goes on one of its NY is hell junkets I think about these guys, the ones who showed up to dig in 2001 and the ones who left their families back here to go to Iraq in 2005. These people are the real NYers and real Americans.

“I remember the cartoon where they showed the fireman handing the American flag to the soldier,” Gaudioso said. “The soldier was saying, ‘We’ll take it from here.’ There’s no way you didn’t want to be [in Iraq].”
