Then there is the example of the Zulus.

I can go on, but I dont want to be accused of picking on the English.

At no time did I praise the actions of "terrorists". I am not saying we should include a frightened airline passenger class who fight off terrorists with Ipod chords and food service utensils into PRMM.

I am saying that improvised munitions are a fact of warfare and that soldiers thus armed are just as legitimate and professional, if not more so.

What is the difference between an Apache pilot blowing up a squad of the enemy before they even know the helocopter is there and someone remote-detonating a re-worked 155mm shell near a hummer without notice? How is one a "terrorist" and the other not?

It's a useless propaganda term for people who root for their "sides" army like a football fan without ever reflecting of the reality of it all.

I like this guy more with everyone of his posts i read...i'm with you Skinwehr. I feel that every time we discredit the enemy and his tactics due to our own ideologies and ideals we in turn make them more powerful. we give them the ability to shock and awe us with their ability to horrify the masses. just because they are our enemy does not make them evil and just because we are us does not make us anymore righteous or good. this isn't a black and white issue.

right, wrong, or whatever muslim men, boys, and women are flocking to a war zone to fight against their perceived enemy and give their lives for their ideals and beliefs. they fight with 20 year old weapons and munitions with little to no military training against the most powerful military force in the history the world and they keep coming. they are being slaughtered by the 10's of thousands yet still they fight. For every American soldier that has been killed in Iraq 10 Iraqis have lost their lives. the iraqi death toll is staggering in comparison to the US's.

how hard would you fight an invading force in your own homeland? these people see themselves as muslims first and the fight the wage is for their brothers and sisters. It's a completely different culture that does not mix well with our western mindset. they are not evil for it. they are just different.

Back on topic i think the renders look incredible and if that IED does not have a "miami vice" ring tone i may just mace myself in the face.

KKK were terrorists

There is a good quote that works here. "one man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist".

I wouldn't exactly call them terrorists per se. They didn't use bombs... for one. But that doesn't define a terrorist, does it. idk.

Yes they did. As a matter of fact, my grandmother attended one of the churches that was bombed by clansmen in Alabama.
