The point of reference to which you have to compare the above scenario is, as you're attempting to kill the so called "enemy", you accidentally hit a child or some other innocent person, putting to an end a life which may have held promise for itself and for all of humanity. You can do that and you'll be discharged "honorably" from the military. However, when you return to The FUSA, what will be awaiting you?
One thing to which you can look forward is having nightmares of that child falling to the ground as he or she was running, attempting to escape a battle in which you should not have participated.
And for what occupation will the military ready you? The heads of American based corporations are anything but patriotic towards The FUSA. This is one reason why the states are no longer united. American based corporations have done their best to divide Americans because that's what works best for them. The jobs they have to offer are not offered to Americans like you. They're offered to the lowest bidder, probably a person living in China who will work for significantly less than what you are paid as a soldier.
If you're lucky, you can work for a private sector mercenary corporation and go back to Afghanistan or wherever natural resourcescry outto the American government to be stolen.
One thing you won't do, either way, is to persuade The Military to overthrow the civilian government of The FUSA. You'll want no part of that, I'm sure.
To come full circle, this is why my friend is wrong. Soldiers whose consciences cannot be controlled will never belong to that part of The Military which possesses the capacity to form a military dictatorship. They will merely be soldiers who knew what was right and did it. They will be the heroes for whom America is waiting and whom America needs so urgently. They will be the heroes who may help to unite the states of America once again.
