Under the previous Pres. I and a good number of other military personnel received training in preventing and dealing with a terrorist attack on American soil. I haven't received any additional training since 9/11. By taking the fight to the aggressor (they never were in Iraq) the pres. has left the many open holes along our borders which desparately need to be plugged. He has taken a good deal of response personnel (for some reason alot of police, firemen, paramedics, etc. join the reserves and Nat'l Guard) out of their communities. He has taken resources away from the patrolling of America's ports and waterways. We are no safer now than we were before Sept. 11 except to being more aware of th risks.
