I don't want to kill people.

I'm going to join the army.

Perhaps -- while I have no intention of being a soldier, nor do I have any experience it, I might try to argue that being willing to kill anyone in a combat situation might be an aid, rather than something saying person X is a psycho. Once again: If I feel that I'm in a life or death, Me or Him situation, I presume I would kill the other person, regardless of their age, sex, beliefs, etc.


You need to remember that the army is based on trust and discipline, and the recruiting and psychological examinations are to make sure that if you ever do get into a combat situation you need to know the guy isn't gonna crack. But I get your point, it could well be a trait they are looking for the infantry or something.
