Quote:-If you join the mafia and are a hitman and kill someone for money its known as the worst kind of crime and if you get caught you probably get incarcerated for a very long time.
-If you join the military and get sent out to war and kill certain people for money (you do get paid to be in the military, after all), it's more than likely you'll be treated as a hero to the people back in your country.
One sort of killing is destablizing society, so society punishes it. The other sort is (supposed to be) stabilizing society, so society is willing to pay for it.
