@ctbeiser How's that? Don't most suicide bombers do it in the name of some cause or religion? How is that not legitimate?
@ctbeiser Do you mean it's not legitimate in the eyes of the victims? E.g., the way states who wage war consider each other legitimate?

@KevinSimler Suicide bombers affiliate with scrappier groups, so we don't grant them benefit of the doubt re: "just following orders." -
@KevinSimler to be clear, my point is about the way that larger militaries use the chain of command to absolve personal responsibility. - 1 more reply
