Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Is there some class of people who don't remember 9/11? Or is Never Forget motif supposed to hammer into Millennials to be more like us olds?

        I assume it's meant to keep us in a permanent state of PTSD, frozen in terror, easily panicked by "terrorism" and "the enemy"

        It's meant to enforce rigidity of purpose behind our built-in racism. "Stay butt-hurt forever" doesn't sound as catchy...

        Imagine the Iraqis say, "Never Forget March 20, and the 14 years after, and some weeks in 1991, and so on"?

        Dunno, ask some really olds about Pearl Harbor, a day that will live in infamy. What day was that again?

        Fair point but did decemberseven ever become a meme like nineeleven has?

        "Never gonna give you up". Memes tend to be generational and fade with time. 9/11 will too IMO.

        my 18 year old sister doesn’t remember it. There are military members now who don’t.

        True. Never Forget or Remember will become increasingly meaningless over time.

        kinda like the Alamo, we all know it happened, but no one really cares.

        whoa now. I’ve been to the Alamo no less than TWICE in my life. If that’s not caring, I don’t know what is.

        ha! I've yet to make the pilgrimage. But yeah, many in uniform were in elementary school in 2001. Different perspective.

        It's repeated as a mantra so we won't remember 9-10 & our lost freedoms & values.

        Seems like it's one of those phrases that enter culture via corporate communications. Innocuous piety - who can argue?

        my niece was born a few years after 9/11 and she posted that on soc media today. Struck me as weird and made me uncomfortable.

        The bad news: Millennials will be the first generation to be less free than their parents. The good news: They won't realize it.
