You make it sound like 80% of the military is bureeaucrats. They are still given a gun, trained how to use it, and in a situation we're it is them vs "the enemy" they'd be expected to kill. Full stop. There's a reason why every MOS goes through the same basic training that the "combat roles" get, and that basic training includes enforcing the idea of killing anyone your chain of command asks you to. The military also classifies some roles, like radio operator, as non combat roles but are we gonna pretend the guy calling in an airstrike is non combat?
As for your other point, idk where to draw the line for condemning people for participating with imperialism, but I'm gonna start with all troops and go from there
