Nesher 629 Posted September 16, 2013 probably an honest mistake but what a better day to to remember how important it is to practice than the day all drills fell in shame due to reality the fallen will never be forgotten, no matter what is scheduled for that day! may they RIP.

Capitaine Vengeur 263 Posted September 17, 2013 Agree. I don't remember that the US Navy stopped dropping or taking bombs on 7 December 1942, 1943 or 1944, whatever bad memories it could have revived. When a war is on its way, there is no good or bad day for trainindg or fighting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted September 17, 2013 The reason the attack was on Dec 7 because it was a Sunday morning and the Japanese knew the readiness would be at its lowest ebb. I don't think 9/11 was picked for any particular reason other than they could work out the timing (if their luck held with weather and other possible delays) of having all the hijacked planes crash around the same time. United 93 failed because the timing was too late. The other 3 happened inside the reaction time. They also had surprise as no one believed a hijacked plane wouldn't be flown somewhere and landed and used for ransom of prisoners or money or both. After those 3 crashed, surprise was lost. Being lax is never a good idea, at least not if people know when you will be lax. If it's an unannounced stand down there's little time for an adversary to capitalize on it.

No it was just a day that was picked because the shitbums had made dry runs, and 9-11-01 weather permitting was just the day they chose because they the shitbums were ready.
