Zero Dark Thirty

War has changed greatly since the age of terrorism, but this is not the first era. Terrorism has existed for a long time and this type of guerrilla warfare is not a new idea. Fighting a war on foreign territory where the "terrorists" have lived and defended their home for centuries isn't necessarily the best idea. However when Osama Bin Laden decided to attack the United States of America he opened up a furious can of whoop-ass on himself. One that would not cease until he was six-feet under the ground. In Zero Dark Thirty, Maya our main character is dedicated to find where little Osama is hiding. Throughout the movie we see how Islam is abused by the extremists to exploit their own agendas. It is true that Islam is not a bad religion, it is like any other faith, it stresses humility and service but these terrorists twist it into a warring and blood thirsty faith. When you fight against terrorists it is not a straight up fight. Most terrorists aren't dressed as soldiers waving flags representing their nation. They might look like civilians and blend in with the crowd. We have to go looking for them, and when they look for us it is not in the open, it is behind closed doors with them trying to stab our soldiers in the back. They cannot really be blamed for this type of warfare though because if you had to take on the United States military and you were just a backwards poor nation in the middle-east how would you take the US head on? You can't. Unfortunately terrorism has had a big impact on many young people in these areas and they still recruit men to fight against us. In order to keep civilian casualties low we cannot unleash the full force of our military, there has been too much death already.
