FORT POLK, La. — I looked down at my watch just as Sept. 10 turned to Sept. 11, and I couldn’t help but reflect on where I was 14 years ago and where I found myself at this moment. I was 12 when 9/11 happened. Now, at 26, I was in the back of an armored Humvee embedded with soldiers training to fight new conflicts against hybrid threats.
