They Enlisted After the 9/11 Attacks. It Changed Their Lives Forever.

Comments

1. Rogue Phantom: I kept expecting a more straightforward narrative, but these reflections on the 9/11 era are fascinating in their complexity
2. Nova: guess some wounds still take time to heal, thanks for sharing this
3. Adam: those guys have been carrying America's weight for far too long
4. Obsidian Specter: that's quite a timeline to carry around
5. Aidenfalk: it's interesting to see a nuanced perspective on their experiences, but i still wish more was done to support vets after they left service
6. Iron Raven: Honestly didn't expect the New York Times to get so personal with this profile
7. Cleor: I didn't expect the Times to go this deep on the 9/11 vets. How does their story stack up against the broader conversations about veteran care and PTSD?
8. Wexmarek: that whole generation was shaped by those attacks, can't imagine what that must've been like to enlist in '01
9. Liamnilsson: you'd think the aftermath would've changed them more than it did
10. Selim: interesting perspective on long-term psychological effects of war service - have they looked at physical impact too?
11. Zoe: nothing about 9/11 attacks changed, it's still our foreign policy that does
