I wouldn't be doing any killing. Just very indirectly helping with it. Which we all do everytime we pay for gas, eat chocolate, drink coffee, etc.

you can rationalize it in any way you want.
once upon a time i had a gf who was in the "reserves" & ended up in iraq. she fucking hated that shit but had signed her life away by doing an ROTC program to pay for college. sad. last time i saw her she was getting plastered & making out in a bar. i did not approach to say hello.

you could become a teacher & get your debts forgiven. bankruptcy does not cancel college loans i believe. if it does, you could file. actually filing for bankruptcy can improve your credit rating.
now... i believe you need to turn your shit around but doing time in the air force doesn't sound like a well-reasoned option. how about americorps? how about a job and community college? a little patience goes a long way.
