Mr. Geenie. Not sure this will help, but if you reference some of the work by LTC (ret) Dave Grossman you will find additional in-sight that I believe covers the mentality it takes to work in a combatants occupation. An LEO friend of mine shared some audio CD's of LTC Grossman as he gave a seminar to her agency in GA. Really powerful stuff. In his teachings he cover the "Sheep/ wolf/ sheepdog" example that is covered here on this site as well. I promise you your time will not be wasted.
Two books you can Google by title are "On Killing", and "On Combat". I would tend to favor literature from men such as this than a "documentary" filmed by civilians for a civilian audience.
Since I am here and posting, I would only say that I do not believe in CO. To me this is a cowards way of throwing in the towel in todays volunteer Army. Prior to 911 there may have been those who planned on skating thru the military and passing out MRE's so they could earn college money, but post 911? It's an insult and disgrace to the brave men and women who will buck up and do their duty dispite of the possible consequences. Luckily Sir, your military is literally FILLED with the latter. It's the main reason that motivates me to try harder each day. How many civilians can say the same about their co-workers? I'm sure there are many, but I hope I made my point.
Compare this to your occupation. What would you say if your coworker simply showed up to work one day and declared he no longer felt he could fulfill his contract. Oh btw, he still wants to be paid?
I'm only kicking a dead horse here. TR summed it up much better than I could,,,,
