wa alaykum us-Salaam
this isnt from the Islamic perspective or anything since im not qualified to give fatwa, but genuine advise from another Muslim, is please have mercy on your brothers and sisters who are already suffering. the last thing they need to see is betrayal from their brethren in faith. is there not anything else you can be productive in and benefit your community, such as learning the deen so that you can teach it to others, or helping the elderly and the needy?

may allah guide us.

its just my personal idea... the only and only purpose of job is to get money. so is there not a single another way to earn it....do u have last last option to join army, else u will die with hunger... bro focus for what purpose allah swt has created us and on the day of qiyama He will ask when where u spent ur life, where u spent ur youth, how did u earn money and where u spent it...what we will answer then.
allah swt help u and ask for his guidance.
jazakallah

You can help those people in war torn countries by joining charities that go aboard. There are a lot of Islamic charities that do this. here are some:

why do you think it is not haram to fight for a kaafir country? do not you remember the verses from quran where Allah says kaafirs are your enemy, dont take them as your awliyas. And you want to give your life for their army? wow, subhanAllah.

No you should not join the British army. The UK is at war with Muslim countries who have done nothing wrong to us. So you cannot join the army.

From the outside looking in, I can imagine that the excitement of battle and the opportunity to travel can seem appealing, but I assure you that it will not be so appealing once your have joined the army. You run the risk of getting killed or seriously injured and even if you are not physically injured, you run the risk of psychological trauma resulting from your committing and aiding others in committing harm and death upon others. In occupations and fighting insurrectionists it is often difficult to tell combatants apart from civilians and soldiers develop a hatred for the population in general with an inclination to shoot at the least provocation. I can't understand why a Muslim would consider joining the army of either the UK or USA knowing that he stands the chance of going to Iraq or Afghanistan as an oppressor where he will be ordered to kill other Muslims.

It would better if you get your excitement from Counter Strike :)
I know it's the same, but hey, it risks less chance going to hell
