> I'd say the difference is in the context. In a state of war you are 
operating on the mutual assumption that if you don't kill the other 
side first, they will kill you. I think in the battlefield, unless the 
other side's soldier has given himself up and is disarmed and taken 
into custody as prisoner of war, you can safely label killing him self-
defense.

Really? How about dropping bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Or any 
other bombing for that matter? How about besieged cities and their 
denizens? Would you label those as self-defence?
