Uh, no, Samantha, we haven't. You are crapping out
your mouth again. Terrorism, as we in the US define
it, is attacks by *ununiformed* individuals
specifically against completely civilian targets,
targets which have not and are not being used to base,
aid, or support opposition military or paramilitary
forces.
The thugs that Latin governments send to Fort Benning
(and it is those latin governments that decide who
goes, not us, excepting us filtering out known
criminals), when they graduate, become uniformed
police and military personnel in their own country (if
they are not already), and as such are not terrorists.
They may be war criminals, but that is another
definition entirely.
