” Want to make a terrorist a martyr? Just lock him up.”
Just look at Nelson Mandela.
On the other hand, executing the scumbag Che Guevara has exalted him among the evil.
Looks like you can't live with 'em, and can't live without 'em... alive, that is.
Biggest problem is making him a martyr, its the lawfare waged on the terrorist’s behalf.
The military needs to be prepared to wage war in the courtroom, or the law needs to keep war from being waged in the courtroom.
Excellent read.
But in the vidio game you just keep the fire button push and mow 'em down for as long as you like.
People tend to forget that the low tech drones aren’t going to be able to find and engage the Raptor.
Or that we’ll find the drone’s control site and take them all out with a few bombs.
Numbers and technology balance out. High tech is a force multiplier. You don’t need 10,000 troops, if you can put 1,000 troops in right place at the right time (get their first with the most...).
