lets face it, most american soldiers have, will, or would for standard soldier pay, let alonr 25 mill.
casualties of war, collateral damage etc.
No.
Now, killing a horrible criminal for 5 million would be a different beast.

I would not even say it brings happiness to people with few money. Money brings some form of safety (what do I eat, what can I wear, can I feed my family, do I have a place to live). So missing money can prevent happiness in some cases, but money itself doesn't produce money. If you get these forms of safety without money, you will be happy even without money.

Agreed to bolded.
To the underlined: he or she may also did (or plan to do) something right.

Nope.
Makes you a murderer.
Also are you nuts and forgot that NSA/CIA are officially monitoring what you say and you can officially get emprisonned for such comment even if you lol'd ?
Yes I would. Nobody is really innocent and will eventually die anyway. I would probably do it even for less just to see how it feels to take somebodys live. And to see how much it woudl affect me.
I would never kill a cat or dog tough

It depends on who the victim is..
I probably say yes though. And I think that's the only moral choice. You could use the money to save millions of people. Basically, the question could be rephrased to say "Why you kill the millions of people, or kill just one person?" I think the answer is much more clear there.
If you could choose who to kill, then the answer is even easier. I would kill the oldest, sickest person in the world with the lowest probability of contributing to the planet. But even if its random, I would still do it. Statistically, two random people are more likely to help the Earth and society than one random person. And millions of people are virtually guaranteed to.
However, if the victim is chosen for me, then it would depend on what she/he does.
But of course this is all easy to say now. If presented with the question in real life, I might not be able to do it.
