You consider a transportation device "murder"? Interesting, seeing as it also can be used to do the opposite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtvCnZqZnxc

No, I am calling what armies and navies do "murder", as they kill people.

Sometimes 'murder' is justified, like when you're protecting civilians against pirates. That's the main use-case I see here. Nobody in their right mind would send these guys against an armed vessel.

Killing and murdering can be two different things, which is why we have separate words for the actions. You're conflating the two things as though they're always the same.

To kill is not inherently to murder. Typically from a legal and moral perspective killing someone in self-defense is not murder, for example.

Armies don't generally kill in self defence, though.

Collective self defense is still self defense, but it obviously needs to be argued on a case-by-case basis.

Arguing that is something an army doesn't do. It murders when asked to murder.

The US Navy is the largest peace keeping and rescue organization in the world. Just one aircraft carrier is a disaster response super hero, complete with a hospital, food, clean water, and tents.

They also murder people.
