It heavily depends on which army you are joining and what cause they fight for. Joining army can be step towards supporting atrocities and it can be step towards preventing them.

Just like with joining police - in some places it is good thing to do. In others, you are joining another criminal organization.

Joining a war will always be supporting atrocities committed by your side, while preventing atrocities committed by the enemy.

Yeah, there was no difference between joining SS and resistance or American army. Or, between fighting against invading army (like Russia) and being invader.

Everything is always the same.

Soldiers from both sides in every conflict will commit war crimes, including horrible war crimes. That's the grim reality and you can either accept it or put on propaganda blinders. Modern war is hell.
