A soldier operates in a war zone, where to achieve his objective he is usually threatened by others, does that not make it more self-defense than assassination? I don't think you can really compare soldiers to assassins...

Nil points. I don't see how the theatre or the organisation make it self-defense. If soldiers never went on the
offensive there'd be no use for them, not even for defense.
