the US State Department is energetically involved in preventing the truth of the involvement of the Saudi state in 9/11 from leaking out. We know this because of mistakenly unredacted documents released in a lawsuit filed by the victim's families vs Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi state was not involved in 9/11, it was Saudis who were disgruntled with the royal family getting all the oil money that did it. They correctly identified that the US was just stealing oil and giving expensive gifts to the royal family to make it look legitimate.

If only we'd let our brave warfighters do their job and not constrain them with a bunch of rules that were never actually enforced (or the guys who violated them were later pardoned if they were stupid enough to get caught)!

Colonel Trautman: Yeah, well, there won't be a victory! Every day, your war machines lose ground to a bunch of poorly-armed, poorly-equipped freedom fighters! The fact is that you underestimated your competition. If you'd studied your history, you'd know that these people have never given up to anyone. They'd rather die, than be slaves to an invading army. You can't defeat a people like that. We tried! We already had our Vietnam! Now you're gonna have yours!

I think my favorite story was when the government ordered some dump trucks or something and was provided non-running vehicles that had to be delivered to the base by tow truck and the contractor claimed it was never specified they needed to be functional
