Futile.
You don't wage war on an idea!
Terrorism is not even a mindset.
It's just a method of a group to get their message out to the world.

Term which refers to a conduct of combat, loosely applying to the 17th through 19th century. In which battles were orderly fought in a fashion akin to a turn based strategy game, with opposite sides of musketmen walked around the field of battle to form giant lines of ranks totally exposed. Each army then took turns blasting the crap out of each other.
Sometimes one side would suicidally charge the other with bayonets. On foot or cavalry. Later, cannons were used as fire support.
Generally, this was though of as sportsmanlike by the nobles that waged these wars.
The practice eventually began to wane when people realized that doing this was fucking insane. And basically outright stopped once World War I rolled around.

These people had more balls then any human being in history, when you realize that each and every one of these mother fuckers walked around a battlefield devoid of cover. Then stood in front of a proverbial firing squad.
Not to mention, even if you survived getting shot, you'd probably get a limb amputated, without anesthetics, at best. Slow painful death at worst.
You probably had a better chance at surviving Russian Roulette. A Gentlemans' War was more like a gamble with the Grim Reaper.

Two freedom wars fought during 1880–1881 and 1899–1902 by the British Empire against the farmers of the Transvaal Republic ( Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek) and the Orange Free State in the southern part of Africa. The African republics had no armies and the farmers had to defend their countries. The word ‘Boer’ is the Dutch for ‘farmer’. Also known as the Anglo-Boer War. 27,927 Boer women and children (22,074 under 16 years old) and 14,154 black people had died in the concentration camps set up by the British Empire during the Second Boer War as part of Lord Kitchener’s scorched earth policy.
Winston Churchill was a newspaper correspondent in South Africa during the Boer War. Japie Greyling was an Anglo-Boer War hero. Jan Smuts was a Boer General during the Boer War, a British General during the First World War and a Field Marshal during the Second World War.
