To be fair, if you don't want to follow orders without question, you will find being a foot soldier particularly unpleasant.

But your moral equivalence between following orders to kill without question and saving lives and healing people without question is utterly bogus and broken.

I swapped the word for one profession with the word of another. In ancient Greek the word technē often used in philosophical discussion such as this was used for both interchangeably.

Why is it utterly bogus and broken. Ur opinion does not negate mine lest u have an argument to back your claim.

If you can find no moral distinction between being contractually obliged to help someone get well and being contractually obliged to kill people, then I think that not just your logic is broken, but your morals and your humanity. You equated opposites.
