The caveat is that us civilians are under the microscope and grunts have immunity.

Oh really? Tell that to the soldiers and Marines that have been prosecuted for bad kills. Rules of engagement, the UCMJ, and the Geneva Conventions are ALL looked at in after action reports and debriefing.
Self defense is NOT combat. Self defense in civilian life rarely lasts longer than 2 hr fire fights and usually doesn't involve RPGs, IEDs, or mortar rounds.
