Most military people don't fight wars because they want to, but because they are ordered to a war zone. The military is not a democracy. Soldiers can't pick & choose whether they want to fight or not. I fought in Vietnam, not because I agreed with the war, but as a US citizen, I was obligated to fight.
I wonder how the religious folks act in such military circumstances. Maybe you have some memories - how does it feel for a theist to hmmm, how do i say this, send someone(a Vietnamese) to heaven by a gunshot, whereby breaking the will of God and the 10 commandmants? You may choose not to answer and sorry if this brings back nasty memories.
