What happened to courage and guts? We used to be a society that would take our hits and then punish and destroy those that harmed us. We would do it in honor of those that were hurt or killed. We would imprison criminals that took advantage of our liberty. We would enact swift retribution on our sworn enemies that harmed or killed our citizens.

Yet our only response to such actions now appears to be punishing the leaders that were in charge when it happened. Have we have become a whimpering bunch of spineless drones?
Yes. You create a society that's dependent on the government and feel that it's "entitled" and this is what you get.

And frequent flyers are part of that. When you have a few days, count the number of threads involving "compensation" and "DYKWIA".
