> One would also bet that some discarded “allies” from the Cold War operating from a cave in Afghanistan couldn’t pull off a surprise attack on American soil, killing thousands. And yet they did.

One would have to have been pretty ignorant then. It’s not like 9/11 was an isolated event. The same target was hit 8 years prior.

So I’m very open to the possibility there are a lot of adversaries walking around the permitters of US bases with little drone kits having a blast.
