The Bare Truth About Killing

War is killing and killing is murder.  That is that, there can be no way around it.

Killing someone is murder no matter how you try to sugar coat it's the truth.  There are times when killing someone is necessary no question about it, protecting yourself or other innocents if about the only reason anyone should ever kill someone. The fact that it is necessary to protect others doesn't change the fact that its murder, that's why we have different legal definitions of murder, such as manslaughter.  Killing a person because you've been ordered to because you're in the military or a any of a thousand other reasons doesn't mean it's right, or that it's a good act, it is murder plain and simple.  And if you're invading another country to so it its premeditated murder.  You might as well sneak  up behind the person and stab them in the back and assassinate them, there is no difference.  Don't believe it when they tell you its "Good" or "Honorable" to kill someone, for any reason, if you have to kill someone its just as "good" or "Honorable" to do it from behind or any other method you can think of.  Its murder, it premeditated and it's not a good act, don't try to sugar coat it or make it sound honorable, it just is.

Its time such things are treated like they truly are if someone, anyone (and this includes soldiers, spies, police, etc...), kills another person for any reason they should be tried for murder and punished appropriately because it is what it is.  It's one person killing, "murdering", another person for some, almost always, fake or made up reason and then saying it's a good thing.
