re: 9/11 is becoming Ancient History

My oldest is 23 and my youngest is 18 so to them it is just history. They've seen the newscasts on YouTube and all, and my son in particular has read a lot about it. They understand the tragedy of it, but it is still pretty emotionless for them, unlike most of us who watched it all unfold in real time, remembering the feelings we had then in the days that followed. My son was watching some of the things about it this past weekend, and it still pained my heart watching it. I guess it was like me when I was growing up, pestering my grandparents to tell me about World War II or my old man about Vietnam. I did not understand that it was just not history to them, it was part of their life story.

I was an elementary school kid when Carter won. 25 years before that was 1951.
In '51, Harry Truman was president, and the Korean War was underway.
That was certainly ancient history to us, as far as my class even knew of those events.
The Kennedy assassination was just 13 years before Carter, but it was a history topic to us who were either not born then or too young to remember it.

That’s not a long time. We just thought it was because it was before our time. Young people lack perspective, and part of getting older and wiser is realizing that you lacked perspective when you were young (and still do).

We don't need to. Japan received swift and hard punishment and very quickly turned that shite around.
Meanwhile Muslims don't care if you blow their cities to shite because they're already doing that themselves. They DGAF.

I always use Pearl Harbor as an example of what will ultimately happen to 9/11.
People who weren't around when it happened will never fully appreciate the weight of it. It becomes just another historical thing that happened.

I'd asked my son to have my 2 grandkids, 10 & 8, to watch the videos. For the ongoing years. As for hating the Japanese, my father-in-law was in the navy during the was, in the Pacific arena, & into his 70's he refused to buy anything made in Japan, cars, electronics, etc.

For not knowing or caring about history? I absolutely can. Since I learned about Pearl Harbor and D-Day I always have reflected on those days about the severity/importance of them on their anniversaries. Even though they happened almost a half century before I was even born.
What about the battle of little big horn? Vietnam? Ford model T introduction. Theres some sort of historic significance on any day of the year. Are you going to take 15 minutes every day to remember them?
If you want to be a history buff, fine. As an immigrant, I remember every presidents, their political party, how many years they served in the 5th grade. Should I look down a person because they don’t know who the 3rd president was? I aced the civics part of my citizenship test. Should I shame people who doesn’t know who wrote the star spangled banner?
Everyone situation is different. If a guy is working his arse off 60 hrs a week to help his family get by, are you going to say “this guy sucks because he doesn’t know what happened at Iwo Jima” or “this guy is a loser because he doesn’t know these dates”?

When you import a bunch of jew hating Muslims to NYC then dont be surprised when they vote like a bunch of jew hating Muslims.

And yeah, I think you should absolutely look down on people that don’t do that simple thing or have a basic understanding of how our government operates.

Only 25 years have passed and look at the mayor that was elected.

On last night's Monday Night Football broadcast, it was referred to as the "September 11 Tragedy." While it was tragic, it was a terrorist attack and should always be referred to as a terrorist attack.

I don't, but I bet some people who lost relatives in Pearl Harbor held a grudge until the day they died and passed on that grudge to their descendants.
The Japanese also surrendered (except that one guy) and became an important ally. You cannot say the same about the muslim terrorists. Even the US "allies" in the region play both sides.

As an atheist, I refuse to side with the progressive left and their radical islam allies.
This is the new deflection from progressives. They hate every religion, except for one.
When I hear this deflection, I laugh. I know not one Catholic that is OK with what happened. Every single one of them wants these pieces of human garbage punished and jailed. Muslims and progressives, on the other hand, circle the wagons for their disgusting people. Hell, look at what leftists are doing right now for a child murderer. Let's not even scratch the surface on what radical islamists are doing.

There is a big difference between events of historical significance and events that define a generation for Americans. There are only a handful of those in the 20th century (and the first couple of the 21st). Those dates stand high above the rest. In my opinion, they are:
June 28, 1919 - Signing of the Treaty of Versailles; the interwar period begins that leads to the rise of European Fascism
December 7, 1941 - Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor; U.S. enters World War II
June 6, 1944 - D-Day; the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe
November 22, 1963 - President John F. Kennedy is assassinated
December 25, 1991 - The end of the U.S.S.R.
September 11, 2001 - 9/11 attacks; beginning of the War on Terror
Six dates that should be remembered by all Americans. These particular events defined what happened in the world for decades after.
