20 Years After #September11th thankful for opportunity @USArmy @FBI @CTCWP to work with amazing Americans & allies tracking down terrorists behind 9/11 & their spawn. I learned so much serving alongside the best people I've ever met in pursuit of the worst people on the planet.

#September11 attacks changed course of my life like many other Americans, I’ve learned a lot, but in my work and travels in the 'War on Terror', online and in the real world, I’ve arrived at no hot takes, no definitive conclusions, no exact theories or absolutes.

There will always be terrorists & America will always need to counter them. Some will hide in Afghanistan, some will be in your neighborhood. Thanks to all who continue to serve and protect all Americans against future terrorists attacks.

My big takeaway after 20 years, "often, there's very little that separates the terrorists and the counter terrorists that hunt them." The difference is an idea, the idea of America is better #NeverForget
