It depends. You can generally choose a career field to specify in your contract, and you're not directly shooting people for the vast majority of career fields. That's not to say your actions won't support killing people in some way, most career fields are there to support the ones that do, but there's ones in cybersecurity for instance whose goal is generally more aligned to providing support to other nations or industries that might've been hacked. Outside of general areas though, it's not like the mission is decided by anyone other than the U.S. President or Congress (or continuing obligations from prior agreements).
