In our government we have an agency that protects not only us but sensitive information that could jeopardize the future of our nation. In the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, they had a similar agency. That agency was Shield. Just like the National Security Agency like we have, Shield had eyes and ears everywhere. Nobody is perfect though. Just because they are the National Security agency, doesn’t mean they know about all the threats out there. In Captain America, members of Hydra tried to end Nick Fury’s (the director of shield) life. Attempts have been made to harm presidents in the past, even though something so important should be investigated and stopped, sometimes no body know to stop it. The information could have never …show more content…

One of the things they did is save one of Steve Rogers friends and then brainwashed him. They turned him into a fighting machine that sought to kill Steve Rogers. Also they downloaded a Swiss scientist to a database that kept him living. This scientist was Arnim Zola.

In the end the United States overcame the attack that happened on 9/11, just like shield overcame the attack that was brought against them.
