In the military world; we just keep it to layman's terms. Terrorism is a form of attack that involves the civilian community regardless how its motivated or what principles it lies. Its purpose is to incite fear into the general public. Military organizations do not terrorize. No need to have a Master's thesis to realize that.
And its Ghost and the Darkness with Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer. Based on a true story. Excellent flick. In my DVD collection. They were killing man for sport but I dont know how that compares to a suicide bomber blowing himself up in the name of Allah or a radical group of terrorists slamming planes into the Twin Towers
Hey Lions go bite that building!! The minds of animals (even those had unique thinking) shouldnt compare to the minds of terrorists. Just my humble opinion.
I am from NYC so I am passionate about 911 that hit my hometown.
Some posts are reminiscent of the show in Living Color when Damon Wayans was playing the intellect in the jail cell lol.
Anyway, I captured and detained individuals for terrorist acts but not necessarily were terrorists (by whatever definition). Some Iraqis were threatened and/or paid to carry out terrorist acts (plant a bomb) so they can pay for their farms and family. Simply coerced into their actions by some enemy (you might say terrorists) groups and were more than remorseful for their actions. Just the current climate fighting the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Since the face of combatants were changed and not listed under the Geneva Convention (meaning we were no longer fighting a uniformed army (enemy) in regards to the laws of war but civilians that started an insurgency; then we placed the label of terrorist on them.
Anyway, I will take shoe throwing anytime if radicals want to express their hate in that manner.
