A few of them. Even the lunatics trying to take over the world have soldiers who think that's a damn good idea, for some reason.

I want to fight to SAVE lives, not take them away!

You can fight for that. It's the best reason to fight.

In battle, you can save lives and end them. You can't choose one or the other, though.
