When I was about six I heard the phrase Guerilla Warfare on the news, for a while, I believed that we should not have given guerillas guns, as they were already fighting to takeover the world like on the TV series Planet of the Apes, which I used to watch. Needless to say, my mother put me straight after a few months of believing this.
