Soldiers sniping obviously innocent people (including women going to church, and hostages trying to escape in their underwear waving white flags) is definitely murder.
If a solider is operating on orders when killing civilians, it's legally not murder. It's still bad, but they will not charged by the government with murder because it was authorized by the government.
That's what I'm saying here. There are legal definitions for these words that matter.
Ah, so it's war crimes. I was worried there for a bit.

You know what else may be considered small brain thinking? Acting so pedantic over insignificant details like these, all while real people continue to die every day. The end result is the same: a mass slaughter of innocents.
But that's just my opinion.
You know what else is small brain thinking? INCORRECTLY being pedantic about word choices. That's the part that pisses me off the most with these apologists. They are literally incorrecting people using words properly.
What about this discussion do you think is intended to make anyone feel better?
I cited the definitions of "murder" above. Explain to me, with reference to these definitions, how the term "murder" doesn't apply. (Hint: this is not possible.)
