Whatever silly justification you use, you are claiming that killing external enemies is OK, but killing internal enemies is not OK.
I would also point out that soldiers wear uniforms while criminals do not. If child abductor/rapists, aeroplane bombers, terrorists, mob bosses, hired murderers, armed robbers, and heroin importers wore uniforms which allowed them to be shot on sight, then I might be persuaded to be lenient on them if they surrendered.
