[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If DC is unsafe, our country and region have much bigger problems.

I grew up in DC and figured we would be in the crater if a nuke hit. Same for any potential terrorist activity, though with Trump dismantling the FBI and much of our security apparatus, who knows. It isn't something I am going to lose sleep over.[/quote]

That's not the right thinking.  LA and NYC are the targets. Even east texas oil fields would be bigger targets. DC is just nothing but paper[/quote]

An attack in DC would be largely symbolic. However, those are often the ones with the most impact. [/quote]

There's no symbolism in DC. Vegas had more symbolism than dc[/quote]

Then why does every movie about an attack on the US show DC's monuments being attacked.

I get that you think DC is some podunk town, but that doesn't mean that attacking it wouldn't be symbolic.[/quote]

By all means, let’s base our irrational fears on what we see in the movies.[/quote]

Someone did fly a plane into the Pentagon and had plans to fly into one into the White House. It's not completely farfetched that monuments would be attacked. However, it's more likely we would see attacks against public transportation, like Japan or Israel.[/quote]
