Yes, and killing Osama was also a first.
We've been fighting AlQ for over over decade now, closer to two decades if you count all the times President Clinton ordered the US Navy to fire
Tomohawks at AlQ training sites. If AlQ was actually serious about killing ex-servicemen they'd have sacked the hell up and done it already.

This is a different kind of war.
No, it really isn't a different kind of was. Fighting insurgencies and terrorist isn't even remotely new to warfare.

Oh really? Fort Hood is not in the US? Malik Hassan didn't kill 13 US soldiers and army personnel, also wounding 29? He wasn't shouting Allahu Akhbar while killing and wounding them?
Major Hassan wasn't a smacking member of Al Qaeda. He was a terrible soldier and an even worse officer. His fitness reports were such that Army was planning to chapter the guy out. How the f*ck you got assassination by Al Qaeda from a disgruntled soldier going full retard and shooting other personnel is the kind of jump to conclusion that involves catapults.
Here's what you actually said, to which freediver gave you a very good response by pointing to the Fort Hood islamist's massacre of active duty US military personnel in the US.
Do pay attention, at least to what you yourself say.

And that totally explains why every high ranking official, civilian and military hides their identity so the "islamists" won't find them...
Oh, wait, none of them do because there's never, not even once, been a case of islamists or anyone else assassinating active duty or retired personnel in the US. You are wrong and need to stop watching so many bad 1980s action flicks.
