I despise anyone who becomes a soldier of their own free will. The moment you enlist, you accept that you could be obliged to kill, and that you will have no control over whether that killing will be justified.
In other words, you accept the possibility that you could become a murderer.
That's why the US likes to keep a well stocked under class which makes the Army one of the few options to get out of abject poverty.
Don't forget giving young people in legal trouble an alternative to having a crime on their record or going to prison. Just enlist instead and all will be forgotten!
