Do you think TV overdoes 9/11 coverage?

No way TV overdoes 9/11, Colonel. I've been retired for 7 years now, and the events of 9/11 largely defined my career. Every year, I record and watch all of the 9/11 shows for a couple of reasons. I was an Army Blackhawk pilot on 9/11, and my unit was in Bosnia. We saw the events live, as did most people, on TV. 15 months later, we were in Afghanistan. In 2 tours, I had the distinct privilege of carrying too many of our fallen heroes from various FOB's to Bagram. Watching those shows reminds me that it wasn't a mindless, unnecessary thing those guys paid for, that there was a meaning for it all. Those shows also help me show my kids why I was gone so much, and why our nations history is what it is.

This is a double edged sword. I think we need to remember 9/11. It needs to remain in the nation's conscience so we don't forget why we are here and what we spent the past 15 years doing. I don't, however, believe the media cares about this and are in it for the ratings.

No !!! To many people take their freedom for granted, then when something happens we're the ones to get the first blame for not being present to stop it.
