St. Basil the Great teaches that the taking of a life is never justified regardless of the reason although he would say it is sometimes necessary. He also teaches that if ones takes a life, even in the military, the person should confess the sin and refrain from Communion for one year. Some may think this is harsh, but taking a life, any life, is denying the indwelling of the image and likeness of God and needs to be reconciled.
