Moral killing may not be that hard to define. Convert the three laws of robotics into three laws of human morals by taking them in reverse order:
1) Self-preservation
2) Obey orders if no conflict with 1
3) Don't harm others if no conflict with 1 or 2
To be useful in war an AI would have to have to follow those laws, except that self-preservation would apply to whichever human overlords constructed them.
