by hitting the military section of the pentagon... this, i would think, leaves the US without several high ranking military officers... they were probably killed in the attack... this would leave them very open... as many of the decision makers and what not are possibly dead...

my only fear now is that this was a gateway event... leading to more things...
i mean the american finances have been haulted.. as well one of the main military intellegence offices has been destroyed... does anyone else think the americans could be more vulnerable now then they would have before?? even if they are prepared for something else...


Of course it hit the military section. The whole Pentagon building is one big military section. But the U.S. military command is very spread out so to think this attack seriously weakened the U.S. (or even weakened it at all) is wrong. Also, the crash only affected the E-Ring portion of the building (The Pentagon is made up of 5 different rings- the building you see in the news feeds is only the outermost ring). And very little intelligence is done within the Pentagon.

So no worries. The leadership of the U.S. has not been obliterated nor will it descend into anarchy.
