The equivocation is also false as stated; the military frequently has the explicit goal of killing people.

I was going to give military an honourable mention but I didn't want to make my comment any longer than it already was. Yes the military frequently does aim to kill people, but not always. Capital punishment is defined as putting someone to death.
