These soldiers were murdered.
And it is a soldier's duty to risk his life in service to his country.
Simple statement is simple.
All dead soldiers are murdered, or die in accidents, or die to old age. In all regards: they die... and duty demands they die for their country. They are bound to this duty until the state, or the self, decrees that they are no longer soldiers.
Soldiers are not duty-bound to 'risk' anything... only to obey. It is their moral responsibility (a different type of duty), to die in the stead of those they would protect. A dead soldier has fulfilled this duty. A soldier that is not yet dead, has yet to fulfill this duty. But die they will... for die they must. They will die in service... or they will not be soldiers when they die.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
