But it is not the same as David sending Uriah the Hittite to the front lines so he would be killed.

Actually there was little to no difference at all. In both cases the dead men were abandoned, and soldiers around them were told to retreat or stand down. In both cases the murderer used enemy combatants to do his work for him. In both cases, the only ones who really knew what transpired were soldiers who were under orders to say nothing.
In the first case we all know why Uriah was killed. In the second case, a massive coverup is preventing us from knowing why Stevens was murdered.
