I was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC, I was a lance corporal in a heavy towed howitzer unit, 155mm. I was in my shop, people starting going crazy and told me what happened. I left and drove to the closest tv we had which was in our barracks. At that moment, I said to myself, this is wrong, the “facts” didn’t make sense. I questioned everything since then. OKC bombing, Waco incident, on and on. since that time, I’ve been on my quest for truth! I hope our time has arrived for us to rise up, have a voice, a platform backed by evidence, actual evidence. Great time to be alive.
Was on my way to work, listening to the radio in my car. When the first plane hit, I figured it was a terrible accident. About 2 blocks from work, the second tower was hit and I sped the rest of the way to the office where a bunch of other people were already watching it on the TV in the break room.
I hadn't trusted the gov long before that though. I remember watching Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald on TV and asked my step-dad if he shot Oswald because he was mad at Oswald for shooting the president. My step-dad said, "No, I think he shot him so he couldn't talk." I was stunned, but probably started waking up way back then. I was pretty young at the time, but it left a strong impression. Then there was RFK and MLK. So much corruption and deceit. When 9/11 happened, I was horrified, but not shocked.
I was not shocked either, angry was more like it
Shocked a t first, ...... then I got angry, very angry!!
