I haven't seen it yet, but hopefully the locals will violate international copyright law yet again, so that the US Military members here in good old IZ can watch and remember why we are here. I volunteered that sunny day back in 2001 to go back on active duty (from the USAR), and have thus far spent 3 years away from my lovely wife, 4 year old son and 10 month old daughter. Some might ask why....but I think I just answered that. I have had the privilege of serving with some great American and Iraqi patriots, and a few have fallen to the hands of our enemy. But we are all willing to continue to do what we MUST to insure that the enemy does not bring its primary goal of a pan-Islamic state to fruition.

I saw it Friday night, and it was outstanding. I can't add much to the words of better writers than I. You can check out the reviews at rottentomatoes dot com. With a very few exceptions, the reviewers loved the film, as did I.
Go see it.
Go see it.

I saw it yesterday late afternoon. The theater was nearly full, I would expect the evening showings were sold out. I hope so.
I dreaded the beginning and I left the theater renewed in my belief that we must confront this enemy. If the film had been less objective in its presentation, I don't think it would have been so effective.
From the reviews I've read, I don't think they've discussed how one sees the day unfold, not just the Hero Flight. I found that with the earlier hijackings and subsequent attacks presented from the perspective of ATC, FAA, Norad, there was a different type of horror than that I experienced that day. The director does not add to the 'reaction' rather one feels that it was videotaped in real time.
On the Flight 93 in contrast, we 'see' and 'hear' the personal. We watch information come, decisions made. We see the post 9/11 America awaken on 9/11.

I just saw the film and can only say it has reaffirmed my Faith and strengthened the resolve of the Patriot Brigade. Every arab man, woman, and child must be slaughtered and given the most violent and painful death possible. These are truly subhuman filth and of lesser value than a common cockroach.
The extermination of the arab race must be the ultimate and final victory if we are to have justice for these brave American souls who lost their lives on 9/11.

Patriot-I hope you do not mean what you have said about the extermination of the arab race. There are some fine people in the middle east who are fighting beside our troops who just want a better life. Yes there is a segment that must be destroyed so Islam can regain it's moral footing in the world. Those who use Islam for evil means must be destroyed. That is the only way there will be peace in the middle east and the world for that matter.

I saw it last night and could not say a word to my wife for 20 minutes after it was over. I was so angry reliving what happened that day. We have to take the fight to them and this movie showed how they brought the fight to us. Thankfully people on that flight did not stand back and wait. They were the first warriors this country had fight back after the attacks on the Pentagon and WTC. The fighting spirit displayed over two hundred years before revealed itself again on that day. This movie depicts what happened on that flight in a way that should strengthen the resolve and shake the complacency of all our citizens. I feel everybody should see this movie and stay for the credits to see how many people played themself. Those characters in the movie will never land additional roles so they must have felt the importance to relive that day in this movie for everybody else.

I wish the hell the moonbats in NYC would decide to do something about the attack other than wondering why they hate us so much. Because you are an infidel, you dumn ass. Now, I've told you, so wake up and join the fight, and quit your stupid support of the very people who attacked you. While you march around acting stupid, the attackers are preparing worse for you. Wake up!

bagz75: you are very wrong. arabs are a subhuman filthy race. we should not be sending our soldiers to die trying to build a democracy for wretched evil people. they will only continue to send wave after wave of diseased filthy terrorists after us.
our brave troops should be on a mission to eradicate every last arab man, woman, and child in every country and on every continent. they attacked us on 9/11 but we will not rest until the last filthy subhuman arab exists no more.

UP -
You sound more like someone who is spoofing conservative beliefs rather than someone who really believes them. If you really did believe them, you wouldn't leave them here at this site. Jawa readers don't believe in destroying everyone who doesn't agree with them. We want to get those who want to get us, and we don't believe every Arab wants to do that.
Besides, there are Muslims of many races. Eradicating the Arabs will not destroy Islam nor the Islamist issue. it still infects those in Thailand, the Phillipines, India and other areas.
What are realistic ways to stop the Islamists?

eradicating the arabs is just the first part of the final solution to global terrorism. the filth of islam eminates from the subhuman arab population. once that cancer has been eliminated we must root out all other followers of islam and liquidate them without delay.
watching the film's final moments gave me great inspiration in one such method of defeating terrorism. tossing the infants and children of arabs into boiling water as their pitiful parents watch--then suffer the same fate.
Praise Jesus and God Bless America

I wince as I read the comments of a troll like Unashamed Patriot. Folks like him/her post here in order to tar true supporters of freedom and liberty.
If Unashamed Patriit really believed in what he was advocating, he'd attempt to persuade rather than to post inflammatory and outrageous comments.
Posts like this are part of the price of free speech. On the other side of the aisle, Daily Kos doesn't have the same problem. The reason is, they have an extremely efficient censorship system, so that divergent and wacked-out viewpoints can be effectively quashed in short order, so as to control the message. I certainly wouldn't advocate that system over here. I am convinced that the best answer to wrong speech is better speech.
If you're trying to stir up unfocused anti-Arab sentiment, you won't get much traction here. Some of the very best Americans are Arabs. Some of the most devout Christians are Arabs. You think that Americans would turn on Arab Americans because some a groub of Saudi Arabian Muslims blew up a plane? Not likely. Not in these parts, anyways.
Nice try, though.

By the way, if you knew anything about Christian philosophy, you'd know that Christians debate things like whether it is moral for the state to execute a man, even a man guilty of a heinous crime. They debate whether it can be moral to kill the unborn child. They debate whether a husband should be able to end the life of a debilitated wife.
Unlike some other religions, Christianity is a religion of life and peace. Jesus unequivocally taught Christians to submit to authority, to eschew violence and to turn the other cheek. It is nonsensical to advocate slaughter and torture in the same post that you say "Praise Jesus" and "God bless America".

arabs have not been and never will be Americans. they are filthy subhuman animals who originate as the spawn of satan. Issac vs Ishmael--Satan begat Ishmael who spawned the arab race. Christ commands his true believers to eradicate the forces of Satan.
Ragnar you are a traitor and deserve to be put in the gas chambers along with the filthy arabs. We will not allow you to tear away at the fabric of American Liberty.

Just got back from seeing the movie, theater was only half full. At the end of the movie some one yelled out Islam is an evil religion another yelled out, any one still think we should not go after the terrorist? Many in the theater were weeping and saying God Bless America.
Any one notice at end of movie the European who stood up to warn the terrorist and serveral people jumped on him?
Wonder were that came from and if it is true?

Anassnamed Patriot sez:
Ragnar you are a traitor and deserve to be put in the gas chambers with the filthy arabs.
Earth to Patriot: I'm a PIRATE. Of course I'm a TRAITOR. And of course I deserve to be put in a gas chamber. Who ever heard of a loyal pirate, anyway?
BTW, if you wanna be an effective troll, you really oughtta pay attention to what actual conservatives say, rather than what the DKos & DU freaks spout when they try to mimic conservatives. Those kids really have no concept at all.
