We are constantly reminded by our nation's leaders and by social media memes we have our freedom because of soldiers that died in Gulf War, Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, World Wars, etc. I have a T shirt of American Flag that says "freedom is not free" that i have worn many times.
I am not trying to reduce at all what those noble men sacrificed.
But, if 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by NWO cabal for an excuse to start a war for their monetary benefit, can we really say they died for our freedom?
These are some very dark and heavy truths. We seek to give meaning and purpose to tragedy and meaningless loss.
GW Bush, who was certainly part of the 9/11 attacks would continually thank widows for the lives their fallen husbands gave for our nation's freedom.

Well, it's true. And, as a Vet, it was very sobering for me to have figured this out while still on Active Duty. As it turned out, shortly after I came to this realization, I shattered my L5 vertebrae and blew out the disk between L5-S1, requiring major, highly invasive fusion of both vertebrae, which ended my Naval career. Had that not happened, I would've gone on to th Army to fly helos thru a program DOD was doing to help find more help pilots for the upcoming Iraq invasion. I had some friends that went on to become pilots that lost their lives when we started losing helicopters at a high rate in both Iraq and Afghanistan. So, my back breaking and the subsequent problems since were, indeed, a blessing in disguise. It also added to my already healthy dose of survivor's guilt from my time with EOD.
But, at least I'm here to continue carrying the Torch of Freedom my fellow Brothers and Sisters gave their lives defending. And I will GLADLY and DUTIFULLY continue to carry that Torch for them. It's one of the only things that keeps me sane.
