I have no intention of belittling your experience - but &quot;battlefield&quot; is not the right term (unless you meant it as hyperbole). There were no battles fought (a battle is &quot;sustained fight between large organized armed forces&quot; according to Google).<p>This was a terrorist attack on French soil - in <i>Paris</i>, the thought has weight-enough on its own, there is no need to frame it as a <i>battle.</i>
