Eureka! - a blinding glimpse of the obvious. The fact that there is a huge difference in the degree of wacko makes all the difference in the world.
How can it possibly make any difference at all, much less all the difference in the world? Wacko is wacko, man. To concentrate on particular methods, like suicide bombers versus some other method, as if the method itself means squat, isn't even a case of not seeing the forest for the trees, it's not even being aware that you're in a forest at all.
The goal of a suicide bomber is not to kill himself, he can do that anywhere at any time. The goal is to kill as many people as possible and to strike fear into the hearts and minds of everyone else. They call it a victory, praise be to Allah, and we call evil, the act of a terrorist. We, on the other hand, us a different method, where not as many people have to die to accomplish the goal, although there's really not a lot of difference between a fundamentalist Islamic suicide bomber trying to kill non-Muslims and a soldier of a Christian nation with the moral high ground trying to kill Muslims who comes back in a body bag. The kill ratios are about the same, although we generally are ahead on that score. We explode bombs to kill as many people as possible and to strike fear into the hearts and minds of everyone else. They call it imperialistic, an act of brutal terror, we call it victory, and the ever-kewl
shock and awe. America lives a winner, and America hates to lose.
They operate solo, or in small groups called terrorist cells and terrorist cell networks. We operate solo, or in small groups called platoons, battalions, divisions, fighter wings and battle fleets.
The degree of wacko here is that we're better equipped, better trained, and better funded. We're also markedly more successful. So, yeah, I guess you're right, the degrees of wacko does make all the difference in the world.
It is debatable as to whether we are a Christian nation, but we are absolutely a nation comprised chiefly of Christians. What we do as a nation is reflective of that. The people who make up the nation's military are selected from among us, chiefly Christians, and therefor do the bidding of a nation of Christians accordingly, with the mentality, mission and traditions of Christians and of a Christian military. The best defense is a good offense, we have that moral high ground, we're on a mission from God with Jesus as our navigator, we're fighting the good fight, so you and a lot of people can't or won't see it because
we're right. We see a war plane flying overhead and we go, "Ohhhhhh, coooool," because we're fighting the good fight. They see a war plane plying overhead and they collectively pіss their pants, because they're
terrified.
We kill Muslims, military and civilian alike, because of terrorism. We kill very few terrorists, however. We kill so few radical Islamic fundamentalist Muslim terrorists in relation to normal non-radical Muslim Islamists that it sure looks a lot like we're on a crusade to "kill 'am all and let God sort them out."
"The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. Hoooo-raaahhh."
