It's my personal rule to never try to hurt another person, so me being in the armed forces is completely out of the question. Don't get me wrong I love my country and I'm willing to fight, just not with a gun in hand and with the intent to kill. In another life, or rather in another universe where the world is completely unified and there's no discrimination, some of the people I would fight could be my drinking buddy (for instance because I don't drink), one person could be the godfather of my child or rather one of them could be the mother of my child. And If that's not enough, think about the other persons point of view, they probably have a family: a child, a wife/husband, or they could be someone who has their whole life ahead of them. My point is I don't care for what "righteous" purpose it's for, I can't- or that is to say- I won't kill a person unless it's in a case of dire circumstance
