Re: How is it terrorism when they kill soldiers?
I really don't understand this, from any political viewpoint. One may not agree with the mission a soldier is given, but he has a mother who will grieve.Originally Posted by HoreTore
Even a pacifist values the human life of the military, if not their role.
Shameful is one description. Morally bankrupt is another. I admit to some degree of surprise.

Flashy stories sell papers. Terrorist is more emotive and topical. Few will be picking up the inaccuracy when a countryman gets shot a few thousand miles away trying to secure some teritory for a pipeline (well at least that's possible, the idea of peace is a joke!)
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Celebrating the death of a soldier would be shamefull, even for that I wouldn't use morally bankrupt. Not caring because you know what you are getting in to, perfectly valid opinion.
