Then you have to consider how we would see an assassination of the commander of, say JSOC. That is what we just did. Classifying them as a terrorist organization doesn't change the fact that he was a foreign official of another country's official military, a military we are not currently engaged in open conflict with.
Like I said above, Iran classified our entire military organization as a terrorist group. Using the same logic we applied they'd be justified in blowing up anyone associated with our military that was involved, or may be involved in future, drone strikes.
