If we require examples of international terrorism we simply look to the USA. Ever willing. Ever ready.

Death Without Borders. Quite a catchy 3 word slogan. I think their might be a bit of competition out there to take up the logo given the behaviour we see internationally. In fact Daesh or Al Quaida might regard themselves as having the main claim on the name.
I thought air forces already had an informal slogan of ‘Death from Above’. That would certainly work for the world of drone wars.

The grunts on the ground in ‘Nam really loathed the fly-boys (cf John McCain) who bombed the shit out of everyone then flew back to their aircraft carriers for hot showers & cheeseburgers.
And never forget Bomber Harris – mass murderer in WWII when Germany was already defeated but he had all these bombs left over, hence Dresden.
