Is it okay to attack anyone because they are military?

Are soldiers any less deserving to live than civilians?

I'd have to agree with Sesame and (gasp) SluttyShemaleAnna. That was actually a very good and thought provoking post Anna. When Al Qaeda attacked the USS Cole, that was not terrorism. It was a legitimate military target. Attacking the Pentagon was a legitmate military target. Even if they used a plane full of civilians. The passengers were not the primary target. Of course attacking the twin towers was terrorism.

Ila, it's a soldier's duty to stand between his country's enemies and his country's citizens. Yes their lives as valuable as the lives of citizens, but they represent their country's best values and are the best trained and equipped to defend their country. So to attack a country's military is always more honorable than attacking a country's untrained, often unprepared civilians.
