From an EA perspective the core issue with engaging personally with the military is marginal impact. Most miltiaries engage in a lot of immoral actions in which they don’t really have to engage to achieve their goals. Scandals like Abu Graib happen because people in the military aren’t making calculated utilitarian decisions.
If you have the psychlogical profile where you think you can push decision inside the military where you are involved into the right direction the resulting impact of that shift is likely a lot higher than the resulting marginal impact of your fighting power.
