| Terrorists have the upper hand. Authorities have the lower hand.
Advantages of being a terrorist:
-You run the show. You take the hostages, you tell the feds what to do.
-You don't care about civilians. Killed a baby? Who cares. The feds have to worry about the TERRORISTS killing babies; every time a civilian dies, the government gets another bad media review.
-Terrorists (in 90% of cases) have no lives. They aren't worried about living or dying. Most are going to heaven to fuck 72 virgins anyway.
As the feds:
-You get better trained guys. However they will usually be more scared, because they aren't eager to die (unless they're fanatical).
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
