Not a servicemember, but the framing from someone who was: while you're a member of the US armed forces, your body is the property of the US Government.

Pretty much. It's called "serving" for a reason. It's not about you.

One's religious views and moral views are not property of the gov, and one should act on them.

Of course they are. You are in the army because you want to be in the army, together with all the pris and cons.

You must be ready to kill someone in a country in Africa (pick anything here) because the govt said so. You know this when you join.

You can die there too, and you know that too. This is why I do not particularly care about the military kills in such a war until someone does not celebrate the same way the guy who killed himself serving in mountain rescue, to save someone else.
