Obviously, the fight against global terrorism will take a long time and be tough. Being a part of the security system of a country, the military plays a significant role in fight against this phenomenon. In the circumstances of certain political and social conditions in the society, the use of the military could have negative effects on future internal political relations and exercise of rights and freedoms of citizens in that society. The military could have an impact on conflict escalation in this fight, as well as encourage the creation of new terrorists while playing its role. This paper aims to critically examine the effects and consequences related to sensitivity of the role of the military, and thus its use in contemporary fight against terrorism.
