9/11 was a tragedy. But about 3,000 people died in 9/11. And then America got into two wars that murdered 150,000+ civilians.
Americans often joke about Afghanistan and Iraq. But 9/11 has some level of reverence demanded over it.
Can someone show me some receipts on this, in case I somehow overlooked the last 20 years?
It's already crazy that I'm within a couple years of 9/11 being the halfway point of my current life (and then having lived more post than pre 9/11)
