Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
We have a word for that too. Terrorism
Terrorism - "War crime during peace"
Assault is not war crime.
ter·ror·ism
ˈterəˌrizəm/Submit
noun
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
"the fight against terrorism"
No mention of during peace. There's no way to commit a war crime during peace— if it's during peace, it's just a crime.
I gave you an United Nations definition written by A.B. Schmidt.
"Akt terroru - przestępstwo wojenne popełnione w czasach pokoju." "Terrorist act - war crime done during peace time."

So, if I wander into a US military base and shoot everyone while shouting "vote for Hillary", that's not terrorism, since it's not a war crime? Are ISIS not terrorists because this isn't peacetime?
No wars in the traditional sense against nation with nuclear weapons, as it can't be done, because of mutual assured destruction.
You have terrorist attacks and attacks on embassies and such, but those kill a lot less than a real war, that can kill millions on millions. Terrorist attacks are limited in what they can accomplish, you won't be able to take over a country that way.

And talking about terrorism, what a way to waste your life, for what really, to get known, to get your 15 minutes of fame? Because life goes on, and people don't care that much in the end. For them that's just something that happens to others, but not them. That's kind of the attitude most people in the west have. So I don't think they will accomplish much with it. The countries will become more defensive, and take precautions, but that's about it.
I don't see how planting a bomb at a civilian train station is "assault".

What’s up with the terrorism talk
9/11 CHANGED EVERYTHING

I was at my upper secondary school that day, and when I came home and turned on my television I saw news coverage of it on TV 2, where I later turned on the TV in the living room, which with a satellite dish, received more channels, and I continued watching the news coverage on CNN.
The time difference between here and New York is six hours, so when I came home from school it had just recently happened, and I remember watching it live, when the towers collapsed. The tower where the plane crashed lower, collapsed first, I remember. Probably because of the extra weight, between the top of the tower and the crashing point, compared to the other.
I found it very surreal, when I watched it.
I was only 3 when it happened, so I don't remember it.

I was just starting 2nd Grade at the time. My earliest memory of 9/11 was the day after. I came into school and someone was talking to the teacher - something about how a plane had crashed into a building in New York. At the time I pictured a small private plane that could hold like 4 people and didn't think much of it. I don't remember exactly when and how I learned it was so much more than that.
Yeah, it was the start of a new age, in a negative way, sadly. Soon after you had the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, which has just made things worse. The 90s were really different times compared to now, and even then you had everything you needed. I don't think things have improved that much since then. Of course the internet has developed further, and new technologies has arrived, I'm thinking about the smartphones and tablets here, but it doesn't interest me that much really.
It's a development you can't stop, so you just have to go along with it, relating to your job. But sometimes I really miss the 90s. It was better times, and more innocent in a way, compared to now. I feel today we are in a depression, when it comes to innovation. Nothing really new arrives. Just look at today's cinema, compared to earlier decades. In the 70s, 80s, and 90s you had much more interesting movies. It's like they have gone out of ideas today. The same with the music industry. Lady Gaga? Katy Perry? Justin Bieber? The rappers? I mean it's just sad, compared to yesterday.
So music-wise you need to find your new music on the internet today with YouTube, SoundCloud and Bandcamp, as the radio is hopeless.

I was alive on 9/11 but very young. I have no memory of the day, so my parents must have been able to hide what happened from me. I don't remember when I first learned about it.

"War on terrorism" is considered crime fighting not war.
Armed assault. Maybe that is not the right word. But anyway that attack is not officially terrorist attack.
So was vietnam.
It's always been the authority of Congress to declare war, no one else. Section eight of the US constitution says this in regard of the powers of congress:
"11: To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
12: To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
13: To provide and maintain a Navy;
14: To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
15: To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribedby Congress;"
