Niels Jorgensen, survivor of 9/11 and ‘ground zero’ related cancer, discusses the legacy of 9/11 and the epidemic of first responders dying of 9/11 related illnesses and cancer, revealing that, ‘2 people a-day die’ are dying from 9/11 related illnesses. Jorgensen goes on to talk about the ‘warrior class’ of the War on Terror, describing the feelings of ‘betrayal’ over the Afghanistan Withdrawal, saying that, these men feel like ‘the backs of our government have been turned on’ them.
