You ain’t a martyr unless you get to choose between betraying your faith and certain death. Simply risking your life as a soldier is not enough.
That does not mean that they should not be honoured when honour is due of course.

Probably Pakistani Media has been ordered to use Martyr for any death of people serving LE or armed forces..
Martyrs are those who get killed in a battle defending the country ..a sacrifice !
But if get ' killed ' in an accident it is not martyrdom ..
Few days back American soldiers got Killed in helicopter crash
and a month back, Pakistani soldiers got martyred in Helicopter crash
In both cases they are just going on routine sorties and not for fighting against enemies
