Cap FTW
Damocles8716
How did he change to his Cap costume so quick? He was in plain clothes a split second earlier...
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
How do any of them change so quick? Batman, Cap, Daredevil, masters of the off panel costume change.
BeardedCoffeeMonkey
Always, ALWAYS, up vote Cap.
fromdeliverancetown
fuck...
pyroice
We need more people like Steve Rogers not captain America. I say this because it was Steve that helped that man not cap. (1/2)
RatButReallyHungryAndAtNight
WHERES THE 2/2!!!!1
spiralshark
Tfw Steve is Cap
franklymydearidontgiveadamnaboutmakingyoursammich
2/2?
Thebeerbringeracomin
Racism is never the answer to anything, there are enemies, they have weapons, but they aren't every single people from middle east
moih
But I agree to your point.

Q: What is the idea of people with different skin colors being inequal called?
rinrenee
Takes me back to the way those first months felt.
LatrellFg10
Christ, this is incredibly dark. Then again, this may be just how it felt back when they did comics about the Nazis.
Nexus763
Maybe this will be classified as propaganda somewhere in the future, just like back tehn with nazis.
Jrhoney
It was...is, a dark time. For some it will never end. For some, it already has.
superanth
Imagine having to go through Pearl Harbor twice...
junkhacker
good point
NeoShadow619
History, doomed to repeat itself. Maybe slightly remixed though.
iamkyleh
This was probably more dark to us, considering we were actually alive when it happened, most people these days werent alive during the 1
SankingDragon
Captain America was first airing during the second World War. People who read it then would have similar views to this 9/11 comic now.
YourWaifuIsTrash
Although tbf, Cap was (obviously) an American comic. The vast majority of his readers were American, so most of them would likely have a >
YourWaifuIsTrash
different reaction to their hero tackling a war set in another country than we do to Cap facing a terror attack on our turf.
Falkorburnstoo
Are you fucking serious?
MechaNinja
The holocaust is fucking awful, but for a lot of people, 9/11 is more real, more immediate. And Germany hasn't been a threat in a long time.
iamkyleh
What i was trying to say was its alot easier for a younger generation to connect to a tragedy they lived through instead of one 50 years b4
MechaNinja
Yes. Or for a lot of folks, one that happened to their parents instead of their grandparents...
iamkyleh
2 holocaust and can have a hard time relating with it if they dont have a family member or friend who experienced it
AngelleCake
We need more patriots and less patriot act.
jadespider
"that's too much work and personal risk, let someone else take care of it for me" - you know damn well who you are.
Datrenegadezambie
I want you on my team
CerealFirstOrWaterFirst
i want him on my team for BOMBARDMENT
causality
The things we did and are doing to ourselves in response to 9/11 are a hundred times worse than the deaths of three thousand civilians.
TheFeralDog
Patriotism is good despite what some say. It is only blind patriotism that is bad.
imanatheistdebateme
This is so obvious that it is mind boggling that it passed and was renewed. I feel like we were betrayed.
AwkwardKyle
We were.
AndoMaca76
Cap would hate the Donald and this pleases me greatly!
Gidyup
I remember where I was.
MisterMarvel
Anyone know the comic issue?
AwkwardKyle
Captain America volume 4, issue 1.
jesusisherelookbusy
Does Cap end up killing Bin Laden?
toodamnspoopy
Bush did 9/11
harles2000

Goddam this is an amazing Cap one-off

theactualdeadpool
..... Fifth grade in England. Dad picked me up from school, drove me to the youth center on base. No one told us what happened, only 1/2
theactualdeadpool
that we had to stay in the gym where there were no windows and stay quiet. Dad was in uniform, and left. I didn't know until we got home.
deeefop
thought Captain shanked him for a while.
ExpectedDickbuttGotDickbutt
can't help but think - ah yes, the one who unites us together, fights racism and brings hope: the imaginary comic book hero.
jeangaijin
Bernie!
Nibarlan
There is literally a whole movie on how much Captain America dislikes government control
AwkwardKyle
Racism is an idea. You fight bad ideas with a better idea. Just because something is made up doesn't mean it isn't real.
proudtobeageek
Couldn't have said it better. Thank you.
HanShotFirst39
Yeah p. Can't judge all Muslims by the actions of a few. Gun owners though, fuck them.
Barrettk80
Bro I'm a gun lover but this is really not the comparison to make. That being said I understand the sentiment and the dislike of hypocrisy
HanShotFirst39
If you understand the sentiment and the dislike of hipocracy, how is this not the comparison to make? I don't think all Muslims are bad. 1/
HanShotFirst39
and as a gun owner, I'm not an evil person either. I don't get that benefit of the doubt though.
Barrettk80
Because it gives the anti-gunners fodder to say that gun owners are racist white hicks. We need to be using facts and statistics to 1/2
Barrettk80
win this argument instead of stooping to their level by using emotional arguments 2/2
HanShotFirst39
Furthermore, I fail to see the "racist hick" portion of my argument. I didn't name call or advocate the eradication of a religion. My 1/
HanShotFirst39
point was and continues to be that if Muslims get the benefit of the doubt after a terror attack then gun owners should get it after a 2/
HanShotFirst39
I've never met a liberal anti gun individual that has been swayed by stats. Their position is purely emotional.
Barrettk80
You raise a very good point, but hope springs eternal that emotions dont hold up in the supreme court
tomasztyka
I was in eight grade, math class when this happened.. We just watched the news the rest of the day and tried to keep doing class work.
AlabamaShakySnake
9th grade, none of the kids really cared all that much. I think the adults freaking out bugged the kids more than anything. (1)
AlabamaShakySnake
(2) Most of us weren't angry or sad until we were told to be angry or sad. Like, we weren't sociopaths or anything but
AlabamaShakySnake
(3) I don't think it registered what happened or why it was really that huge. Living in middle of nowhere made it seem like another country
kjatar
They kept the TVs off, but there was an announcement that kids whose parents worked at the Pentagon needed to come to the office. Surreal..
WouldTheRealAlphariusPleaseStandUp
8th grade history. Kids freaking out about their parents at the Pentagon, we came together and supported each other.
tomasztyka
That's what's important.
brrAainss
No TV signal we were told as the broadcast towers were...up there...
SirSpoon166
6th Grade math class I remember all of our parents picking us up from school right after
LemonWytch
4th grade, recess. My sister came to get me while my dad signed me out. When I asked why she only said "We're at war." I'll never forget it.
TigerWalt
7th grade social studies. What I can't get out of my head was the one kid who started laughing...
OccasionalCaucasian
Same grade, same class for me, too.
brrAainss
It literally came to a point where I was just telling people based on their location to just go outside....disbelief .
Sabiya
I was in fifth grade then. My teachers gave up on class work and gathered all of my class in one room. We were just old enough to (1)
Sabiya
Understand that what had happened and the feed we were seeing was shattering. That was the most sober and grim I'd ever seen my classmates.
talrath2002
I had completed BMT a few weeks beforehand. We were locked down in the chow hall for over an hour before we were allowed in the dorms.
ZebraScientist
i lived in brooklyn when in happened. Saw the planes hit the towers.
littlepurplebirdy01
I was 2. I live in Canada, I was home with my nanny and she told my Dad not to go downtown to Toronto. We were afraid they would hit us too.
tomasztyka
If they hit you too.. No doubt we would have bombed them harder.
LadyIgnite
8th grade home room. I waited outside my home for hours till that evening waiting for mom. I cried when I saw her finally cross the street.
snicklefritzmcgiggletits
3rd grade, my cousin and I were walked home by my dad. My mother was crying cuz a close family friend was in the north tower.
Unsupervisedadult
9th grade history. We attempted to do the same thing. Not a whole lot of school work was done that day
tomasztyka
My mom let me stay home the next couple days.. She was worried.. I still watched the news.. Couldn't believe it could happen then.
brrAainss
Lived in arizona, went to work at 5am to answer calls for east coast cable RCN...had to tell irate NYC customers calling about serviceoutage
pacifistpickle
3rd grade. I was getting ready to go to school. Everyone was touchy that day.
Ilovechocolatetitties
8th grade band, we basically sat in silence while a few members sobbed due to having family there. Something I'll always carry with me
WhimsicalCalamari
First grade, eating breakfast before I went to school. I kept saying that one of them looked like it was going to fall. My mom >>
WhimsicalCalamari
>> insisted I was wrong. I didn't know there were people in it. She took me to school. I didn't really know what happened until the evening.
texastostada
Sixth grade. Suspended from school for a fight the previous day. Dad is a Vietnam vet. Never going to unseee his face when the towers fell
Ryugarika
I was in sixth grade art class, abroad. The first we knew of it was our teacher getting a call from the office 1/2
Ryugarika
and frantically trying to call her brother, who worked in one of the towers. He'd taken a day off for some reason. 2/2
IndignusVita
Damn.
Ryugarika
yep, they sent us home a bit early (international school) saw the towers fall just as I walked through the door. tv was on.
Bwentos
6th grade hadn't left for school yet, saw the second plane hit while I was in the kitchen.
missmerf
3rd grade, our teacher turned on the live coverage and we watched them fall in silence.
zigzagler
1/2 Remember our teacher stopping everything to tell us. Wondered why- we're in Canada. Teacher was American. Didn't know the full scope.
zigzagler
2/2 Found out the extent of the tragedy that night, but learned just what the American Spirit can be. I won't forget.
HamboneHFY
I'm British. My parents were flying home on AA from visiting our family in Indiana that day. When they landed and turned on their phones...
DarkerSavant
At the military dental clinic asking what movie is this when the second plane hit. We armed 18 F16s in 30 minutes. A lot of rules got broken
cosmicsans
I was in sixth grade. It happened during reading studies. We weren't allowed back in class; we had to watch them both fall on TV.
PilotIII
High school physics class. Enlisted in the Marines shortly after.
devildogttu
1st semester of college. I enlisted a few days later.
brrAainss
Thx
DrunkAnna
Thanks.
TakWriterOfWorlds
Took me four years to be old enough. Even then we had to trick my mom into signing the papers to release me.
Antpocalypse
And what did you do during your tenure in the military? I'm genuinely curious and not an American.
devildogttu
I was a Diesel Truck Mechanic. ????
devildogttu
Disregard the question marks.
Antpocalypse
Cool.
CHUBMARINES
I was in kindergarten. Didn't know the full scope of everything. Just knew it was bad. About a week later a bunch of kids were 1/2
CHUBMARINES
Talking about how their parents had to leave. Didn't know at the time but they were reserves being activated
leaflock
7th grade English. They shut down classes all day, and let us go home early. I still have the newspaper from that day.
tomasztyka
A piece of history.
AwkwardKyle
4th grade for me. We didn't find out until we got home.
Hypnotyx
Also in 4th grade. They wheeled in a TV for us to watch the news. We all knew it was bad, just didn't know what it meant.
Nemrith
Same, 4th Grade, we didn't get a TV to see the news, but I heard about it before heading to school.
DrunkAnna
7th grade. It was a "current events" class. The assistant principal told my teacher, "We're being bombed."
BananaPepperRepublic
8th grade too. Social Studies. Our teacher was in his 80's. He saw WW2 & beyond & explained & spoke w/ us like adults & gave us perspective.
archirat
8th grade, band. He turned off the tv and we played. Released a little early, no school the next day. D.c.
tesserax
Same here. My teacher said, "you'll remember this day for the test of your life"
botosai2001
I can't remember if it was my history teacher or my 86yo WW2 vet grandfather that told me that. Can't imagine what it was like for his (1/2)

generation having seen this twice essentially. (2/2)
