floors me that it's widely accepted that soldiers murdering soldiers in war isn't murder

Because it's not. Murder is one sided. War, you are fighting. It's not 1 sided. It's killing, and can easily and is often morally reprehensible. But that does not make it murder. Civilian deaths are still murder in a war.

It's not defanging language. Its using it as it is.
