Airmen. Not solider. Airmen. Being an Airman isn't the most glamorous title in military circles, but i think it's still respectful to call them for who they were.

This goes hand in hand with the uprisings across the Muslim world.
They have re-learned that fighting a professional military force head on (even in asymetrical warfare) is onerous. I think we have entered the era of fifth generational warfare. The enemy is everywhere, if not massing in the streets to bring things to halt then he is right behind you. Here are pictures of Arid Uka: ![]() ![]() Muslim worshipper, nothing new there. |

It is a relearning because the Rebel Judeans resorted to knifing Roman Soldiers, and the Assasian cult relied on sneaky one on one knife attacks to kill Crusaders.
Think of the similarities in imagery: a little nobody using a basic knife to take on heavily armed and armored Western Troopers (i.e. Roman Legionaries or Christian Crusaders is similar to a little nobody jumping up and popping at U.S. Soldiers. The Roman empire during it's hight extended into the Middle East with the provinces of Asia Minor, Judea and Egypt. During this era they faced a similar extremism the U.S. does today. Religious fundamentalism. A very basic mistake for Westerns is to assume that Muslim culture, religion, and society can ever be divorced anymore than the Judeans could imagine a world in which a statue of the Emperor could be allowed in the Temple. For thousands of years this has been the way of monotheistic Middle Eastern religions (Judaism, Islam, or even Christianity.) Corruption, greed, political intrigue, fanaticism, and religious exclusion have for centuries played a major role in the world of Western Asia. All of which prevent perfect peace from forming only levels of quiet. |
