"i believe many of the other overseas attacks on the US military by civilian bombers were classified as terrorism as well"
I'm sure they were. That way, they fall under the jurisdiction of the "War on Terruh". But that doesn't mean it's correct. Terrorism is, basically, scaring people so that they'll do what you want out of fear. Attacking military targets doesn't do that, because they just shoot back.

So? Not everything need be complicated beyond reason.

well looking at the past examples i was thinking of, i think blowing up a barracks of sleeping soldiers in a (supposedly) friendly country during peacetime is probably terrorist.
