Why is that? Is America supposed to be scared of retaliation now? This country has NEVER been afraid of ANYTHING. That's how America became America. We fought for our freedom and we will continue to do so against those who threaten it.

You, serving in the military should know this.

America should NEVER be a reactive country. We should always be proactive. If we can;t protect ourselves from these threats, nobody can.

This is great thing forever. It'll never be bad thing!

Though I'm guessing you mean because you expect an attack. And so do we all, but this will help tremendously in helping tear down the terrorist groups.

Well, honestly, we're all just a number. None of us are in the news when we die.

Yes because you should be able to tell people what they can/can't care about.

This cracks me up, the same people that "fight for our freedom" want to tell us what to do. Is that freedom?

Hey guess what buddy? YOU CARE. That should be all that matters to you. Let people do/watch/care about whatever the hell they want, and grieve about soldiers in their own way without being BOMBARDED by bad news every time they turn on the tv.

Did I say we should be scared...but take a second and think about this...we just killed their leader they will come harder and stronger then ever. I know we are not afraid and I know we are America....All I way saying this is going to result in more and more deaths because of this....

People die everyday doing great things this country. School teachers, pastors, police officers, social workers, doctors, etc. Do you think this is exclusive to soldiers? Shouldn't they get this same recognition?

Sounds like the groups were already getting smaller. And there are fewer of them capable of organizing a large scale attack the way bin laden did. I do expect retaliation, but don't expect it to be significant.

We hate Notre Dame?

It's just humor. My roommates who are all huge Ohio State fans laughed, why can't you?

I completely disagreed with Seth Myers and Obama, but I still loved the Trump jokes.

In Afghan its not getting easier by no means....I don't know if they are strong enough right this second to do something like 9-11....but I do believe they are strong enough to fight harder and want more American lives because we killed their leader.

you and lotz show up on every osu thread..make dumb comments, and act like nothing happened...you take something that should be a great moment for America and make it OSU based and act like we should ignore it? there is a time and place, and right now college sports shouldnt be apart of it

It doesn't work like that..when you're 2nd or 3rd in command, and your world famous leader is killed, you cannot think practical...you are worried that you are next in line..you disband..you are either caught and arrested or killed. They will not be able to plan an attack in the middle of all this.
