Nope, 9/11 was legit random.
Not really a matter of comparison.As far as defining moments for a generation where everyone can tell you where they were when they heard the news, there aren't that many over the past century.PHJFK9/11Anything else?
That kills that popcorn. Need to find another thread. #BringBackAJ
Not American but Princess Di's death
the moon landing.
Alleged moon landing.
I remember that. Saturday night I believe. Before we left the house motzei shabbos they spoke of the accident. By the time we came back they were speaking of her in the past tense.
Nor would a PH harbor bombing today affect every American like it did in 1941. Warfare has changed in the past 75 years...
Before my time. I did see it in Forrest Gump. Does that count
It definitely would. There are 2 attacks on the homeland in US History ( excluding 1812, Civil war).PH9/11The difference is simple if any country would have done the 9/11 attacks, you better believe that we would have a full scale war.
A full scale war in 2015 doesn't look the same as it did in 1941. Those days aren't coming back. Drones, nukes, etc.Nobodys invading Normandy with thousands of boots on the ground in 2015...
Nukes aside. Do you really think that we would fight with drones If someone attacks the homeland??We would destroy that country with every method in our disposal and dispose the government.
Lets agree your history teacher is a very smart person. What about 9/11? We also let that happen and needed an excuse according to your history teacher?
Which country exactly is attacking the US homeland in 2015? NK? Iran? They'd have to be suicidal as they'd be nuked to death within hours.There's not going to be a mass draft for that...
