I would suspect that it is not the killing in that scenario that is what is
being (or worthy of being) honored in the first scenario...it is the selfless
courage and risk of the situation.  If killing was the criteria, everyone who
shot someone in combat would get one. (And I realize you were not suggesting
they WERE...but Fischer clearly does not understand that)
