The minute you define terrorism, which is politics & violence, as war is the minute you make the miltary into a political action force.
And when you do that, you give the terrorists what they want, credibility and the actions of a massive force trying to stop them.
And this from a president who promised not to “nationbuild” with the military.
9/11/2001 may have changed everything, but only when the US Government decided it was an act of war, not just an act of terrorism.
