I suppose deadly force during war-time is technically sanctioned killings managed under military codes of conduct (ideally). Outside of war or militarily sanctioned engagements, isn't murder considered to be the willful or illegal taking of life under civil law?

Often it just comes down to basic survival for those under fire.

Here they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah.
Yeah, here comes the rooster,
You know he ain't gonna die.
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die.
Walking tall, machine gun man,
They spit on me in my homeland,
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy.
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death,
My buddy's breathing his dying breath,
Oh god please, won't you help me make it through?
Here they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah.
Yeah, here comes the rooster,
You know he ain't gonna die.
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die.
