I remember a group of goons crying because the katana fighting scene in Predators was too short. Foocking otakus.

No. Only one guy, my buddy, is actually "trained" in the use of a Katana and I kicked his ass last time we sparred

Kendo is a sport and I don't see it as anything like fighting. You'd get your ass kicked fighting for real.

I've tried kendo, fencing, but those are sport and it isn't actual combat.

Yeah, those Kendo guys are fucking hardcore. The club isn't about swordfighting as a sport, it's more about having fun and being in a club looks good when you are applying to colleges

Since terrorist groups are not actual armies and therefore do not answer to any gov't, which means they are not bound by the Hague Conventions (a non-Contracting party), why the hell isn't our military allowed to use hollowpoints?
