Waging In Wars of “National Interest” vs. “Self-Defense”

When in the military, I held misgivings about disciplining soldiers for declining to fight in wars of "national interest." (The Vietnam war was a good example of this.)

I don't have a problem in waging war against those who directly attack us as a nation, such as in World War II.  However, is "forced charitable killing" more benevolent than "forced charitable stealing?”  Is it okay for the federal government to do?
