I heard this before. The answer is, "I am lying."
This is a paradox because if he is really lying then he must be telling the truth but if he is telling the truth then he is lying. The cycle repeats itself.

The soldier says, "I don't want to die", which would be the truth. After he is shot, he is (technically) free.

It doesn't matter what his statement was because either way he was killed thus being free from imprisonment.

"The war is over." (Thus, they are no longer soldier enemies).

He would rather be hanged than shot.
