And overuse of the word "terrorism" aside, I think the word can apply equally regardless of who is attacked. If the People's Army occupied America and was embedded in civilian areas, I might have no problem suicide bombing them and proudly taking credit for the terrorist attack. Sometimes terrorism is the appropriate tactic. However in this case there's no reason for the attack. The point of terrorism is to pressure the other side to do something. We already retreated.
So do I agree it wasn't a "terror attack". It was a stupid, evil massacre that might cause US soldiers to stay longer.
Even the Taliban are looking at the tweet like "whoa dude that's a bit extreme."
Our soldiers are in the process of leaving.
And exclusively rescuing people.
