No, Soot, before they invented the Newspeak, goodthink, phrase "collateral damage" for killing women and kids, the operative word was "murder", possibly second degree murder, but still murder.

From Dictionary.com

mur·der /ˈmɜrdər/ Show Spelled
[mur-der] Show IPA
–noun
1. Law . the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. In the U.S., special statutory definitions include murder committed with malice aforethought, characterized by deliberation or premeditation or occurring during the commission of another serious crime, as robbery or arson (first-degree murder), and murder by intent but without deliberation or premeditation (second-degree murder).

I see both sides, Tom, believe me. But, if the Taliban killed this soldier, it's also murder.

I don't like what we are doing over there, but you have to call a spade a spade.
