I had no problem praying at all.
I took my inspiration from Joshua, Caleb, David, Gideon, Elisha, Cornelious and the early Roman Christian soldiers, which did their duty.

I respect your post but if I may add this--Joshua, Caleb, David, Gideon, Elisha most likely had a directive from God. As for the Roman soldiers not sure if there is a record of them killing for the name of Rome.
If already in the military that would be a dilemma. I would assume overseers would need to be involved to see about a transfer to a non-combative position. A friend who was in Vietnam worked as a in-the-field medic but refused to carry a weapon.
