9/11 25th Anniversary: A personal reflection

NSD Podcasts Podcast ·

2026/09/11

Washington DC 9/11/2026Every September 11th, we say the same four words: never forget. This week’s essay from The National Security Desk — on the Civil War II Substack — takes those words seriously enough to ask what they actually cost us. It lays out a theory of how nations lose power: not through weapons, but through legitimacy, and what happens when a government spends that down to zero. Then it applies the theory to the last twenty-five years — the forever wars, the debt, and a rally stage in

The regime will quite simply not allow that to happen. Unconstrained by the other branches of government, the executive is
