Attacking troops is "terrorism" only if you consider it is anormal for troops to die.

I think we get too hung up on the 'terror' aspect of terrorism. Nine times out of ten, when people talk about terrorists they are talking about covert operatives using explosives. That is the definition which is most often used, but when we are asked to define terrorism, we define it differently.
