Well, I did say "outside of the confines of state-sanctioned and recognised conflict, as a terrorist."
Wars that are recognised as valid conflict is not terrorism. Also, wars are targeted at destroying the military production capabilities and force capabilities of a nation - whereas terrorism is designed to evoke an emotional response by the destruction of civilians and symbolic objects.
Ideological loyalty is the act of giving your soul to a vague concept, to be manipulated by people smarter than you. |
