If you consider the person committing treason to be an enemy of the
country, then yes, in my opinion they fall in with the soldier aspect.
 Where is the line drawn for the definition of "soldier" though. 
Uniformed military is an easy one, but what about the situation in
Mogadishu a while back, with women and children firing at U.S.
soldiers.  In my opinion, they would constitute an opposing force, or
enemy.  The way I look at it is "are they a threat to my life, or
another military persons life?"   This may seem harsh, but if it's me
or them, it will be them.
