That's all speculation. These are the facts we know about War Hero and Sole Survivor.

-Shepard Held off a Bartarian Raid in War Hero

-Shepard was the only survivor (besides Toombs) in the Thresher Maw attack in Sole Survivor.

Sole Survivor is obviously supposed to be the "tragic past" Military Record, so why would Bioware make to of them? It doesn't make sense.

Additionally, another reason I pick War Hero is because it is the Paragon Choice.
