Subject: The war on terror (2001-2014) is (sort of) over!
Written By: winteriscoming on 12/28/14 at 4:09 pm
While we're still at war in NW Pakistan and will have troops in Afghanistan for a while longer, the combat mission is formally over.

Do you think it would be accurate to say the "post-9/11" era is over since ISIS and a more bellicose Russia have overshadowed Al-Qaeda and nobody really worries about another 9/11 anymore?

I'd say we've moved on so it's somewhat distant now but we're post 9/11 in the way the Cold War was post WW2. We're affected, and the changes remain, but we're beginning to see it as a thing of the past.
I say this as both a New Yorker and a kid growing up post 9/11. When the war ends, it's the end of that chapter, but 9/11 will not be forgotten.

Now it's North Korea that's gotten more in focus. The war on terror era is winding down, but not done yet.

ISIS is terror 2.0
It has certainly not ended.
