<p>I have a ton of respect for soldiers, moreso than a lot of people here I bet, but a couple things tarnish it as an ethical job:
-their job in many instances is to kill others. this includes civilians if need be. Yes they may be following orders, and it’s not their fault if the war is unjust, but the results of the job are not very ethical.
-there are soldiers that abuse their power
-some join the military for money, because they’ll die on the streets if they don’t, or even worse. </p>
<p>I think there must be some jobs that save lives, where almost everyone in it is good and those who aren’t aren’t bad, and where people do it not for money/glory but because they genuinely want to better the world. </p>
<p>Like what about the volunteer disease fighters in Africa?</p>
