TRX WOD and Counter-Terrorism

TRX Workout of the Day:
5x sets of 5-6 reps of:
1. Low row
2. Triceps Press
3. Chest Press
4. Hip Press
Followed by 1-2 miles running or 3-4 miles on an elliptical. 

In Counter-Terrorism related news Al-Shahab militants executed two teenage girls they claimed admitted to spying.  In my experience most Muslims are not extremists and just want to live their lives but the few ruin it for the many because of the extreme tactics and techniques they use.  In addition we need to consider what the drug cartels are doing in Mexico.  It could be debated that they are terrorists, and that narcotics are their income.  They bribe and intimidate local government, law enforcement and military officials and members in order to attain their goals, which for the most part is the trafficking and sale of their product.  This is not that much different from what Al-Qaeda did in Afghanistan with the poppy fields.  The difference is that the cartels are virtually uncontested and very strong, capable of overthrowing local law enforcement and government officials if they wanted to, and they directly threaten our southern borders because of their strength, numbers and ability to infiltrate into our territory.
