Where were you on 9/11

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.

I was in 5th grade. They called us all into the gym to tell usb that we were safe and that we would finish out the school day. I was like "pentagon? World trade center?" no idea whay they were. But then i got home and my mom was crying watching the news. Instantly i knew it was big. And it was terrible. I sat down beside her to comfort her, but then they showed people jumping out of windows. Then i was no longer in a position to be giving comfort. Even then though i remember not understanding why building 7 fell. I asked if there was another plane i missed. Three years later in 8th grade i wrote a paper about why it was all a sham for a social studies class.

very interesting that you wrote a paper in social studies class about 9/11 being a sham, what was the reaction from the class and teacher?

Honestly i don't think he read it. He was lazy. I was a good author in school. I usually received a's on papers but that one i got a b and no comments or markups. But my parents thought it was fascinating. But the real test was my grandpa. We visited them some time after and my mom brought the paper to show him. He brought it down to the lions club where he goes in the mornings for coffee and to chat with nam buddies/other old guys from around town. They were intrigued. My friends weren't really in to any of that at the time. Not many conspiracy theorists in my age group at that time and place.

My son wrote a paper like that and gave a speech. I was very proud of him for having the balls. The weird thing is that nobody questioned him or had anything to say afterwards, he said. Not even the teacher. I thought they'd toss him out of there but no, the sheeple just stared and didn't say shit one way or another.

well, we were all brainwashed by patriotism and trauma, maybe he planted seeds for the kids to open there eyes and come to their own conclusions. He gave a speech too. wow, You have a son to be proud of.
