Do you understand the difference between the two?
If so why use a point of law (specific circumstance) to try and over turn an established legal definition?
Even as a point of law the fact is military law works on a completely different set of rules than civilian law. Civilian law seeks to protect the rights of the people in accordance to the standard set by the constitution. Military seeks to protect the intergrity of the military's MOP first.
You are at best comparing apples and oranges.
Wait... you're the one that brought up the military example as proof of your point, now all of the sudden it's comparing apples and oranges?
Must I remind you?

Do you think it is right to call someone who shoots and kill one of your family members a murderer IF he the guy is honestly defending his life? the same here was your family member murdered and is the man who killed them a murderer?
In both instances the law allows for the taking of human life so legally the killing of an enemy combatant is not murder nor is legal self defense. The word murder describes a criminal act. If the law does not allow for prosecution the act maybe the same (the net result/your family member died at the hands of another) but to the law it is as it never happened.
If military law and civilian law are "apples and oranges" as you put it, then what was the point of your above post?
