What does wearing a uniform (or not) have to do with "terror tactics"?
If you are not wearing a uniform, you can blend in with the civilian population in order to carry out sabotage, or worse, attacks on civilians and soldiers off of the battle field. It was one of the things written specifically into the Geneva conventions, and one of the determining factors in US precedent on how prisoners were treated. When Nazi sabatours landed in New York, they wore their uniforms until they were safely off the beach in case they were captured. When they eventually were captured, all but one was executed after a military trial.
