personally, i think a larger scale war, for example in Iraq or Afganistan, is different to the microcosmic example you gave of killing another human being out of self-defence

men often return from war very traumatised, at times, for life

war is often connected to politics, innocent people are often killed in war, dehumanising the enemy & the soldiers often occurs, the culture & repetitiveness of killing can lead to habituation and a lack of opportunity to tune into the (inner) results of one's actions

kind regards
