Clover I don't condone any shootings so I completely disagree with those actions, but Im going to come off topic a little now. You say you want to join the army to fight for your country but you say you're a taoist, now im no expert on any religion but doesn't it slightly contradict your religious beliefs to "fight"? Also you state financial and educational benefits as the reason you join up but do you really want to be an instrument of the state? Where you go out and fight dirty wars for the rich and an elite class? Is that what you really want? Work hard Clover, many people from poor backgrounds have succeeded and made something of themselves without joining the military.

No, in the Tao Te Ching it states that while there are precepts to follow, the Taoist must live his life how he feels he can while he is here. There is no strict dogmatic beliefs to adhere to.
