So you believe all military personnel are terrorists? Interesting. I disagree, but find such an opinion to be fascinating.
I know you weren't asking me, but I wanted to weigh in on this.
This is a 'tough' thing to weigh in on.
It boils down to perspectives, really.
I mean, if you're an Iraqi, chances are, your perception of the American military is going to be negative, likely akin to terrorists, which has validness to it based off the simple fact that the #1 premise for the invasion of Iraq turned out to be absolutely false, which makes the War itself, a false War, and every action thereafter filled with terrorism.
As Americans, we see our military's actions as: "protecting national security," "protecting our vital interests," "killing the bad guy," and "what we're supposed to be doing". And that's because that's how the media tells us.
It just never seems like anyone has stopped and thought about the mountain of dead people the United States military has left in its wake and made it stick enough to gain national momentum. The amount of bombs we've set off. The amount of bullets we've fired. Terrorism is a relative term.
Notice how I haven't mentioned the clandestine boys yet.
But no. Not 'all' military personnel are terrorists. But there are a lot of terrorist actions from the military.
