How is it terrorism when they kill soldiers?

[HoreTore]

The Taliban are trying to strike fear into the population of Afghanistan (where have you been?), and I think killing soldiers is only one part in that.

Their ultimate goal now is to re-establish control of afghanistan and stabilize the country. Where have you been? They're not trying to terrorize the population just to terrorize them, they're doing it to ensure loyalty. But getting foreign occupiers out and bringing down the traitor(in their eyes) government is the most critical.

Heil Osama!!!

But srsly, I would agree that teh Taliban do want to bring stability to the country, very admirable of them. But its the kind of stability they want to bring and the way in which they are doing it which I belive gives people justification in calling them terrorists, though tbh alot of the fighters are actually poor locals who have had enough of U.S backed warlords, so its a rather hit and miss kind of thing.

I'm not arguing whether to call them terrorists or not. I'm arguing whether it's correct to call an attack on enemy soldiers a terrorist attack.

Well, if they are brutal insurgents who commit acts of terror in order to impose a brutal regime, then yes it would be a terrorist attack.
