So... what...should we include police and other emergency personel? How about teachers and school administration? Anyone that works for the government that can be killed while on duty?
Gonna be a long list.
military-industrial complex privilege.
By including even the grunts they hope to distract the enlistees by noticing that they are killing poor people across the world for the benefit of the profits of industry titans and the 1%.

What an a--hole you are.
And it's you're, i.e. you are - not your.

So far Bush and Cheney have not been held accountable for their actions, so that's exactly where you live, presuming you live in the US of A that is harboring them. Besides that, why would you try to hold the whole freaking country responsible, rather than the complicit parties responsible. That's like saying "well Bush is responsible, so we'll bomb the heck out of Los Angeles."

see Also: Oklahoma bombing
Did we start a massive bombing campaign after that to punish a country for harboring him and try smash an ideology?

Why do military get to board commercial planes before first class/business class?
Because the airline looks good by doing a good deed for these people. It’s an easy win to honor military as far as looking good in the public eye. In reality, the airlines couldn’t care less about the military.
At least airlines are not as phony as NFL on this - the military glorification thing. NFL is nauseating.

Uh... I think you could have just said 'every war' to make your point. That said, I hope I never live in a country where people can fly into a building full of civilians and not be threatened with some sort of retribution against the country(ies) that harbor them. You can argue about which countries and people should be targets, but the ideology of the terrorist regimes isn't that different from those of the last war you credit with being legitimate (i.e. exterminate everybody that isn't like you).
Uncle Sam's Propaganda has worked on you. The mastermind leaders were from House of Saud. Fifteen of the 20 men were from House of Saud. The funding was from House of Saud. U.S. has lost nearly as many men and women in Afghanistan as died on September 11th, 2001. Tell me what has been accomplished since U.S. has been killing Afghanhanks since late 2001?
Thank you for posting this. Saudi's got off Scott free even though their intelligence service knew in advance.
Read about war profits from Afghan and Iraq.
War is a Racket by Marine General Smedley Butler. Read it. Written before WWII.

Planes should be boarder in order from highest net worth individual to lowest net worth individual. No exceptions. Money should be uber alles for flight boarding just like it is for every other aspect of America society.

C.I.A., 2001 stated Osama bin Laden had been training his thirty to one-hundred men in Afghanistan. U.S. wanted to destroy the training camp, late, 2001 and capture or kill the specific men who aided bin Laden twenty years ago. That has happened. The training camp has been destroyed. The specific men in Afghanistan who aided bin Laden have been captured or killed. All these years later, U.S. is attempting to pacify the men of Afghanistan. Why?
