How is it terrorism when they kill soldiers?

[HoreTore]

I have to admit though that I know nothing about what really happend.

Some guy with a car full of explosives drove into a military column. Bang.

Or they got blown up by a roadbomb. Last time I checked, they still hadn't decided which.

Does this really boil down to frustration at the loss of a countryman in a conflict of which you don't feel he should be a part?

Nope. As far as I'm concerned, people are dead when they sign the contract to go to war. If they come back, then woo-hoo, if not, well, it was to be expected.
