Victim Compensation

I would just like to say, I think compensation from the United States Government for the families of the victims is wrong. This attack was not the fault of our government. People should realize this. Stop and think about the families of our service members who perish in the line of duty, what compensation do they receive? Khobar Towers, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, those who gave their lives in Vietnam, Desert Storm and every other conflict. The service member makes up only 3% of the population, yet they defend 97%. You want to talk about unjustice, put on some boots and come ruck twenty-five miles with my men. You want to talk about being owed by your government, then step up and be willing to defend that same government. These people have my sympathies, but not my support.
