If you are a soldier, it’s odd that your full time job is to literally kill people you don’t know simply because you are told to and they are from another country. That is the majority of your training. It’s just so totally different from normal society and normal jobs.
The vast majority of people in the armed forces aren't trigger pullers, so their jobs don't involve killing anyone. It takes a long support train to put one soldier into combat. A lot of military occupational specialties are similar to their civilian counterparts, but they work in a more structured environment for a different mission.

Well you would be a soldier in your examples so not relevant to my point
Some people just deserve to be killed if they threaten to destroy your country, friends and family. Silly philosophical discussions are nonsense within the context of the dangerous world we live in.
It would not be "simply becasue you were told to" Presumably as a guardian for the society you took on that burden and trust that those with more information are not just using you. Since in most cases they are less physically capable than you and if they went themselves the greater society would be more likely to lose.
I don't really think it's odd. Every job is different. As for morality, that can be debated until everyone is blue in the face but as a job I don't think it's odd. You're compensated for providing a service. That's what it comes down to.
It amazes me that people from the usa have the opinion that people from other countries have the train of thought that we have and the valve of life. Where people would rather kill you than talk to you. We can't have a decent conversation over covid and the vaccine. Because which ever side your on all i hear is screaming not a real debate.

Since this is the "philosophy" forum... Perhaps the reason you sign up to kill other people is not that someone told you too. It might be because that is what you are into.
