Maybe it's just me, but I'd be hearing that ol' commandment "Thou
Shall Not Kill" in my ears all of the time. That commandment never
says kill if the battle is correct or anything like that, it's pretty
specific.
Funny how religion has pretty much abandoned that aspect in the last
100 years or so.

To the troop himself I imagine it means a great deal. To go into
battle, to kill and risk being killed, I think I would want to feel a
closeness with God. I would want to be sure in my cause being just, to
be able to reconcile the killing with my religeous belief.
