JohnnyZ.... its not about "taking a life", its about saving lives.....and there are more than just 4 branches of service. I have not killed, but I gave 22 years of my life in the service of my country. When I got my draft card, I was on USCGC Glacier in the Bearing Sea. I have traveled the world, and have gotten training and education in any number of different fields as a result of my service.

If I could offer a word of advice, before you continue with the line that your trying to get folks to bite off on, I suggest that you personally walk a mile in my shoes or any other vets shoes, so that you can speak from first hand experience, instead of spouting idealist ramblings.
