"Traumatized" might be a bit extreme. I lost four people, that day (two in NYC and two in Wash. D.C.). I don't believe I was "traumatized" other than the realization that even with all our military superiority, we were damaged as heavily as we were.
I was (as an American) "traumatized" by that piece of shit law, inappropriately named: "PATRIOT Act". It was an assault on our constitution.
Then, I was "Traumatized" by Ol' Dumbo Ears fucking me out of my insurance coverage in his effort to "fundamentally change America".
On that general subject: I believe America was (generally) "traumatized" by the emasculation that we suffered, as a country, under that idiot's stewardship. His apology tour and his feckless behavior in the face of the rise of Islamic extremism caused (I believe) many of us to feel impotent on the world stage.
There was a time in our history, when a similar attack would have resulted in the entire middle east being devoid of all but the people we chose to let move there.
Lastly, I think some have been "traumatized" by the general swing of feminization of this country. Back in the '80s, men were entreated, cajoled, and bullied into becoming more sensitive. Certainly, a large portion of that is the result of un-married mothers, raising sons. Sorry, but just like I could never have taught a daughter how to be a woman, a mother canNOT teach a boy how to be a man. That has caused some major issues. It's why we have so many soft snowflakes, now.
Think about it: in 1944, nineteen-year-olds were storming the beaches at Normandy. Today, the little sissies need "safe spaces" on campus so they don't hear anything that might shake the very foundation of their feminized world view.
Disgusting.

I have 2 friends who were close calls on 9/11 by being an hour late because of traffic....they saw the planes hit. They ARE traumatized to the point they will not fly ever again.
the patriot act was not a patriot act,
On that general subject: I was traumatized by the original Dumbo getting the idea that he should get America in the same style war in the middle east the Russians imploded their economy over, and then was even MORE of a Dumbo by getting on a ship and declaring "mission accomplished" when he knew even then America was going to be mired there for decades after.
that ALONE made America impotent on the world stage and set up our economy to be in 2007 as impotent as Russia's years earlier. but that's not going to be the worst of it.....2019 is going to suckier yet.(see bigger dumbo below)
the only reason the middle east was not treated the same a japan was too many wealthy people would of lost their foreign oil investments.
I personally have been traumatized by the general swing of stupid-isation of this country. Now we have police who cant tell in broad daylight the difference between a wallet and a gun and will pump a clip into My demographic, Black Men, because they cant.
We have, after electing a real dumbo for two terms, elect a man who dug us out of Dumbo's fuckup, then elect a even BIGGER dumbo as president this year.
in 1944, 19 year olds who were storming the beaches of Normandy were coming from racially segregated campuses, & towns. You have less men because they got killed off by men of the same color who were just as racially segregated in their campuses and towns.
Stupid (Nazi) vs. Slightly less Stupid (the USA)
By my estimation the single and married mothers left behind taught their boys how the be better men by being less stupid by being less bigoted than their fathers, and less assholes to their women (what u called sensitive) - Something their fathers or baby daddies still here were too busy enjoying the privileges from. Now the swing is fearmongering the stupid still here into being as stupid as they were in 1944 only to a wider range of people. Just so the wealthy can get more money and leave the rest of us another 2007 style recession around 2019.
after all.....in nature there's no such a thing as a black snowflake? ....nope.... just white ones.
Today, the little bigoted assholes need "safe spaces" (called bathrooms) on campus & public places so they don't SEE anything that might shake the very foundation of their bigoted world view. (even thought the new president has had no problem walking into the dressing rooms of naked teen beauty pageant contestants. but of course those repugnicans are upstanding assholes,)
