Military targets. Arctic Dave Sep 2013 #16

If you are looking at it that way you can extrapolate that to much of the civilian population. stevenleser Sep 2013 #18

The US thinks so also. Arctic Dave Sep 2013 #19

Not just the US. stevenleser Sep 2013 #20

If you work on a military bas then you are a target. Arctic Dave Sep 2013 #23
