[quote name='alonzomourning23']But many would not include an attack against a military target as terrorism, that's the problem with the term, there is no clear definition. The only broadly accepted definition is targetted attacks on civilian targets, or at least where civilians are expected to be collateral damage, even if they're not the primary target. Though it sounds like any sneak attack by a rebel group would be considered terrorism under your logic. [/quote]
Regardless if the target of an attack is civillian or military based on the criteria set forth under GC IV:
Art 4. A. Prisoners of war
(2) Members of other militias and members of other volunteer corps, including those of organized resistance movements, belonging to a Party to the conflict and operating in or outside their own territory, even if this territory is occupied, provided that such militias or volunteer corps, including such organized resistance movements, fulfil the following conditions:
(a) that of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;
(b) that of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;
(c) that of carrying arms openly;
(d) that of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war
The actions and the manner in which they are conducted by terrorists groups are per se acts of terrorism.
[quote name='alonzomourning23']Where is your reading ability? It was obvious I was disagreeing with the wide range of cases that the term terrorism is applied to.[/QUOTE]
My reading of you statement: "And, on a technicallity, much of what we do in Iraq would be considered terrorism if you want to include every possible interpretation."
Leads me to believe that you can reasonably come to the conclusion that a majority of acts committed by US service members in Iraq are acts of terrorism. I fail to see any disagreement in your statement.
[quote name='Kayden']Yes, both ways we find out you're an obnoxious little troll with nothing better to do than to tell an internet forum how right you are about all things political. I think I'll pass.[/quote]
We keep hoping you will.
But you keep responding.
But like everyone else who vows to "ignore" people, you don't.
Pathetic.
