So you're basically breaking down the role of any military to that of 'killing people.'

Which is pretty strange, because after the earthquake in Haiti, over 70 countries sent military personal and resources to help. The US sent a crap load of stuff there.

You can find a lot of examples like that. Hell, even in Iraq you can find a lot of examples of military personal doing all kids of things besides 'killing people.'
