If someone performs acts of terror against your country you simply forgive? Or if someone invades your county you simply surrender and don't fight back? So they have the right to attack nearly 3000 US and non US citizens and all is forgiven???
Easy to cast the first stone when you're not the one defending your nation. If everyone thought that way you would be speaking German.
Also you need to remember kill and murder is not the same thing. Over time it has been interchanged but you do have the right to stand up for yourself. Not everyone out there is nice. You want to take over a country or attack innocent people then you better be prepared to face military action.
People/countries have a right to protect themselves.
Did you post this to preach? Until the WORLD can come to agreement over everything we will need a military. If everyone thought that way then we'd be a peace but until then we need them as there are not nice people out there that don't care about others religious beliefs. They want to use violence to try and get what they want or because they don't agree with certain country's policies and consider then an enemy etc.

I think, When the Army Men Helping the Country , While the Country Experiences the National Calamities , Such as Flooding, Earthquake and Major Disaster of the Nature, I Feel PROUD of Them. But, While They are Killing the Other Country Men in the Name of Border Patrol, I am Not Happy with the Army.

If your overthinking it this much, your not a good match for the Army.
By your line of thinking, people like Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, etc should be just left to roam.
And what is more evil than wasting a whole generations life by limiting their creativity, productivity and freedom.......all for the sake of some little dictator to have his way and push outrageous ambitions.
You do realize that Hitlers attempt to create "Germania" the german utopia, that he killed nearly 60 million of his own people, right ?
Its not a sin to kill, especially when your country tells you to do so, but it is a sin to have "murder" in your heart. And if your so willing to get all butt hurt over an evil persons "right to live", your condemning the many good people they will effect for as long as he/she lives. Hitler killed 6 million Jews, I guess that's all a wash with people like you huh ?
Seems all we get on the forum are mush minded left wingers asking questions about stuff they should know. There's information just waiting for your chubby fingers to access. The lack of motivation, drive and personal ambition to be something other than a typical couch potato is just one example why liberals suck.
They don't only want to live off the government cheese. they want someone to cut it and bring it to them too.

I'm not a Soldier yet, but I am planning to become an Army Officer through the ROTC Program.
First of all, not everyone kills someone. There are plenty of non-combatant MOS. Second, think about it how it is. It is kill-or-be-killed in many situations. Would you rather come home with blood on your ACU or in a casket?

People keep a fencing and divide land into two and call it two countries.They divided so that there are two parties to fight each other. Now they create something called army to protect their pieces. Now, they bring a piece of colored cloth calling it flag for themselves and say it is patriotism. Don't understand why he had to fight at first place and die for someone else. People start saying he died for the country. Utter foolishness.....

I personally am not religious, therefore I do not believe in "good" or "evil".
Soldiers who are religious ignore the "thou shalt not kill" part, just because it suits their needs. This is what most religious people do.
"Thou shalt not kill, unless it's a terrorist"
