A soldier, not a terrorist in San Bernardino

By Greg Richards

With all due respect to the FBI, he's not a terrorist. He's a soldier.

 

Big difference.

 

A terrorist is a misfit, an outlier, perhaps mentally ill. A soldier is a noble figure, sacrificing himself for a cause bigger than he is.

Conducted from a base stocked with ordnance.

 

And it ended perfectly. Farook and his buddy Tashfeen Malik, who was also his wife, went out in a blaze of enemy – our guys' – fire, killed in jihad, the highest estate in Islam, going directly to Paradise and together forever
