A friend of mine (who is not currently in the army, so he has more sfarim available, in his zchus I am able to stand in war (makos 10b, although he’s not technically in the gates of Yerushalayim, I think that’s commonly understood to be referring to lomday Torah in general) and due to me, he is able to sit and learn (sanhedrin 49a, someone’s gotta protect am yisroel, lichora lav davka yoav)) pointed out that there is also the sheeta of the rashbash (shu”t rashbash siman 518) who holds that when the person is alive, his meat is assur meeshum aiver min hachai and when dead, it’s assur because a dead body is assur bihanaa, slightly different from the Ra’ah, who seems to think that it’s the same issur in both cases, so there are actually four sheetos in the rishonim, my mistake.
