    I don’t know if you grew up during the color coded terror threat level days, but after updating everyone on the days terrorism threat color, the nightly news anchors would share how many terrorists were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Even as a kid, I thought to myself, “how is everyone killed by coalition forces a terrorist?”

    Or, “why are car bombs that kill coalition forces in theatre, called terror attacks?”

    News flash, governments and media label all sorts of organizations and actions terrorism, 90% of it is propaganda, or bullshit.

    Otherwise, I guess that would mean Ukrainian forces fighting Russians are also terrorists, which is how the Russian government and media refers to them.
