It is good you only have two years left... you will have done enough..
But i understand how you feel...
Just an outsiders perspective, I'm not being disrespectful so don't take it personally or anything....
The ships motto is "Never forget", but I think maybe it is time to forget, or at least let go of it a little. When I look at the difference between 9/11 and the London Underground bombings and the way the two cities/countries have reacted I see two very different attitudes. London, hardened from years of IRA bombings, cleaned up the mess, caught the guys responsible, and got on with life. In comparison, 7 years later the US is still making a huge song and dance about it. How could this happen to the self-appointed "greatest city in the world", etc etc. Al-Qaeda are certainly getting good mileage out of it. No amount of flag-waving and patriotism is going to bring those people back, or stamp out terrorism, but hey if it makes you feel better about it then by all means keep on with it.
Just my 2c....

The London bombings can be better compared to the first bombing of the WTC's....It was a different feel...This time, they knocked our friggen buildings down, on OUR turf, at 9:00 am to maximize deaths....It takes booku balls to mess with us in the first place...Sneak attacks, will get you bombed into submission
