You are correct, but technically, the killing of civilians during warfare is called "a war crime".

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.

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.)
