There is a variety of ways to define "terrorism", but most definitions more or less explicitly exclude actions by military forces.

This may to some extent be a good thing: I at least want the government to be constrained by normal criminal substantive and procedural laws when fighting terrorism. When it's fighting a war (i.e. against a military force), entirely different rules apply.
