Depends on the person, a lot of people justify it to themselves that they won’t necessarily have to kill anyone. Recruiters also obviously don’t always tell people the truth of what they will actually be doing and just want you to sign on.
There also legitimately is a lot more to the military than being a front-line trigger puller, there is a massive supply, maintenance, etc. system that employs people with practically zero chance of them ever having to kill someone.
Tbh I have personally considered joining in such a role (particularly aircraft maintenance) but decided to pursue a civilian career.
The core business is to kill, maim and destroy, or coerce through threat of same. Everyone in the organisation works towards that core business. The chap who changes the oil is just as responsible for the slaughter as the idiot who drops the bombs.
However mass-murder isnt a dealbreaker for those sacks of excrement so they deserve no benefit of the doubt.
