From living inside the looney bin that the USA has become, and being old, I have observed to warring ideas have been at work throughout the Gen X lifetime: 1) the idea that we have to protect the basic freedoms of America no matter what the cost, and 2) we have to abandon these freedoms to protect America. The cognitive dissonance is almost overwhelming for many older (baby boomer and older) people. What both of these young men did makes complete sense within these two disparate ideals, as does the government's response.
