As we reflect on the War on Terror and its pop culture ripple effects, discover the surprising connections to today's films and past conflicts!

As we return to the beginning, we must remember that its roots lie in the tragic events of September 11, 2001, which saw the United States suffer a profound loss.

Recent discussions, especially after the 23rd anniversary of the attacks, provide an opportunity to reflect on the ever-evolving nature of this war and how it has morphed into a prolonged struggle in the eyes of many.
