If you don't want to fight, don't join the army. The recruiters don't tell the whole truth.

Yes
Many people dont realize this ( because the Army tries to hide it) but pretty much everyone goes to war .; and every one fights. No matter what your MOS is.
The Army bends the Soldier to the needs of the Army. When I enlisted , I did so as a 25Q (Mulit-channel Communciation Systems) , I got deployed a little less this two months after I arrived at my unit.After a few months downrange , I ended up not only doing my signal work , but I was the SAW machine gunner and combat lifesaver .
I am not complaining about this , I am actually proud that I wasnt just one of those Soldiers who set at the FOB all day, but I am merely stating that fact that being a Soldier is very multi-tasked , you will being doing all sorts of things outside of your job.

First of all, a psychiatrist is an M.D. with additional training in psychiatry. You'll be close to 30 by the time you finish all that schooling, if you can get in it in the first place. You can't just "earn a psychiatry degree in the army while getting paid." Where did you hear that?

Well all people in the Military are Soldiers first, cooks, Doctors and Mechanics 2nd. Your joining for the wrong reasson, it sounds more like you want a free ride to a better job and cash. A soldier never picks the wars he can or can't fight in, he is the political power of his nation, and must go when told to.
Being said, your position is not a combat role, but if you were in a base that was under heavy attack, don't be surprised if your given a rifle.

YES. When you join, you take an oath of enlistment that reads something like this "I will support and defend the Constitution of The United Sates of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I will obey the orders of the President and those appointed over me."
If you are ordered to go to war, then you go. It's that simple.
Now, if you don't want to fight, then don't join the military. It's also that simple.

it may rely upon the conflict. i'm against the Afghanistan or Iraqi conflict yet i'm totally supportive of wars that guard the human rights of others. i does no longer connect the militia at this 2d, simply by fact i do no longer go with to assist this conflict. In a distinctive case (which incorporate protecting human rights) i could in all threat be very open to starting to be a member of the militia. i individually could be quite drawn to being aside of the scientific group in the Air tension.

If you have to ask that question, dont join the military. You will have to go to war. I am a mechanic for the Navy and i have been on the ground in Iraq. It will happen no matter what you do. Go to college if you dont want to fight, stay out of the military.

I don't know if you can refuse to fight in an all volunteer military service. In a draft, you could be a conscientious objector, if you could prove that it was against your religion. However, there have been people who have served who were against fighting but they drove ambulances, were medics, helped bury the dead etc. Sounds sorta like you want the benefits but don't want the job. Not that I blame you but, I'll bet there are a lot of young that don't want the job including some who are actually doing it!

You are always a soldier first. At anytime they can pull you out of any job, give you a gun and tell you to go. That's how it is in the military. It's not just the Army either. All branches deploy and go to war. You can't be a military psychiatrist unless you already are a psychiatrist.

To be a psychiatrist you would have to already have your doctorate before you join. While you are AD you can work on your degree on your own time if you are allowed, but with the examples you gave no thats not how it works. If you don't want to fight then don't join. If you are tasked to go, you go, period.
