Question: What ever happened to “Let’s Roll?”
Answer: It became “Let’s Roll Over.”
Dean Barnett compares the United 93 revolt and the British Royal Navy rollover:
What a strange and dismal trip it has been for the Western world, going from “Let’s Roll” to “Fighting Back Was Not An Option” in scarcely more than five years. One can only hope that when the history of our era is written, the former will turn out to be the immortal quote, not the latter.
