If it makes you feel better, I joined the military to go to college.

On topic: Geneva Conventions. I've heard from numerous peers of mine that, when downrange, there are quite a few soldiers that don't follow Geneva Conventions. Which is sad. But I don't think people should blame the entire military on breaches of the Conventions. I was at MEPS (the processing station for the military), and I was sitting with a bunch of kids out of high school. I was talking to them, and the majority of them had the 11B MOS, which in laymen's terms, is an infantryman. Now, I would never take that as my job because I scored too high on ASVAB. But when I asked them why they took infantry as their job, about 95% said that they wanted to either "blow **** up" or "kill terrorists."
And that's exactly what they (think they) are doing.
