I don't care. He died in a war of agression, he is a terrorist to me
This is the point that isn't being clarified: this war reputation washes anyone who participated into a terrorist.
Its hilarious how people will say stuff like this, and then in practically the same breath say “how can the federal government call anyone antifa terrorists?!?”
Like, youre doing the same thing that they are by watering the word “terrorist” down to a point where it somehow applies to normal people that are obviously not actual terrorists. The protesters convicted of being terrorists are obviously normal people who didnt set out to inflict violence for the purpose of terrorizing anyone. Even if they themselves were in contact with people who intended to harm others that wouldnt make them terrorists. Only actually being (or aspiring to be) a terrorist makes someone a terrorist
The same is probably true of the (likely) clipboard jockey kid youre calling a terrorist. Most people in the military work in logistics. A lot of people do a lot of nothing the majority of the time they are deployed. Many of them probably joined mostly for the benefits. The military is a fucked up institution controlled by some fucked up people, arguably terroristic for sure, but that does not make every person in the military some kind of radical terrorist individual. That same logic is exactly what the US government uses to label entire countries of people as terrorist targets…
The only thing hilarious is equating calling a protestor a terrorist with aggressive actions of a military.
It's also pathetic how concern trolls like you come out of the woodworks when your side is on the receiving end of it.
You don't mind families and civilians getting wiped out for being at the wrong place and label them as cost of war but are "concerned" when people label a military who enable the same atrocity machine as a terrorist?
I don't think this is where "let's be civilized while they bludgeon us to the ground" narrative works.
Reddit is that way. 👉
Any soldiers who is accepting to participate in any shape or form in that war is a terrorist. The soldiers who refuse are not. I do not water down the word terrorist. It is not similar to trump calling an antifacist a terrorist
You are just another racist who only think muslims can be terrorists
