Happy Patriot Day!! ;D

Mostly what I remember is posting on a local friend's mailing list about how I was rather looking forward to seeing our special ops troops in action in the mountains of Afghanistan, describing them as terrifying cyborg commandos who would show the bad guys real fear and get the job done. I certainly didn't feel that, a few months into the operation, they'd get their resources yanked and rerouted.

Another of my friends, at the time, blogged that it reminded him of the climax of Watchmen, and I knew what he meant and I kind of hoped so too, that this would be a catalyst to a new sort of international unity. For a while it really felt like it could happen.

Not so much offense as that I get tired of snideness pretty quickly, even when it comes from myself.

I made a separate and entirely acid post earlier today that I ended up marking private. It felt good to write, though.
