Right.
How many times have we seen a report “shooting” or “stabbing” or “bomb plot” immediately followed by “Authorities have stated they know this is not connected to terrorism. They have no information on the identity or background of the suspects, or the weapons or plans, and reach out to the public in case the public have any information that could aid in the investigation. At this time there are no suspects in custody.”
Makes sense?
It’s not terrorism, any more than Pearl Harbor was terrorism.
It’s a military operation.
