" Oh, no. Please, no \u2014 not with the &amp;quot;state of mental derangement&amp;quot; thing.

They are totally beyond the society of their own military forces and disconnected from them.&amp;quot; Is it even necessary to point out that there is no good reason for the average Afghani to buy this bushwah? Hell, if you presented it in the average American courtroom, you&amp;#039;d get laughed into next week as a wimpy liberal coddler of criminals.

You know what we call people who evince these traits \u2014 &amp;quot;They are totally beyond the society of their own military forces and disconnected from them&amp;quot; \u2014 in the real world? Sociopaths. You know what people call them when they happen to be Islamic? Terrorists. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
