Murder is killing people--- what more is there to understand about what murder is?

It's considered a "special circumstance" and they have the government's permission. It really makes no sense to me, but hey, it's government sanctioned killing!

Many people make the mistake of believing the Bible says, “You shall not kill,” and seek to apply this command to war. However, the Bible actually says, “You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). The Hebrew word literally means “the intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice.” God often ordered the Israelites to go to war with other nations (1 Samuel 15:3; Joshua 4:13). God ordered the death penalty for numerous crimes (Exodus 21:12; 21:15; 22:19; Leviticus 20:11). So, God is not against killing in all circumstances, but rather only murder. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it is a necessary thing. In a world filled with sinful people (Romans 3:10-18), war is inevitable. Sometimes the only way to keep sinful people from doing great harm is by going to war with them.

Murdering people is not the same as killing people, You have a lot to learn about it.

Murder is when someone kills someone deliberately. Going to war is not murder. Like someone before me said, it is merely in defense of our country.

kill in wars by a commandment and kill because you hate someone is not the same!
Murder is when you kill with hatred!
would you want your enemies take control over your country and destroy it the same time?

War is not considered murder its considerd self defence. But what were doing in iraq i think is over kill we've killed all of our primary targets we should consider it mission accomplished.

Killing a person in combat in a war or other military action is not a murder.
Those guys in across the battlefield from you aren't innocents-- and if you don't kill them, they'll kill you.

The troops are obeying the laws of our country and defending our safety against threats to our safety. That is not called murder, it is called war.
