Murder implies intent. This guy did not go out seeking to kill kids.

What a foolish thing to say IMHO ichy.
The "Dude" may have joined the military by accident, but when he did and proved he had the talents it took to pilot a drone, he proved to us all, that he was not just a cog automation in a killing machine. Because his decisions and actions ended up killing innocent children. Making our 'Dude" a finer human being than you ichu because he recognized his own guilt rather than rationalizing it away.
On the other hand I could recount to you my experiences in a rather painful divorce, when the only thing that kept me sane was killing millions of non existent zylons in some computer game. At least it kept me busy and and sane. As I got the last laugh when my ex wife went to jail for multiple felony fraud counts three years later.
If I had used violence against my ex-wife, I would be criminally liable, and how is our
" dudes " case any different?
Our "Dude" pulled the trigger just as certainly as our latest Newton school shooter. They both pulled the trigger and real and not imaginary innocent children died.
