as a matter of my personal morals, to fly a defensive role
expected to take on any authorised mission, regardless of the munitions used or the target and its proximity to potential civilian casualties.
if I were recruiting from two identical candidates I would chose the one who offered me more flexibility for future roles.
you could legitimately answer with "Flying a Typhoon F2 out of Leuchars/Conningsby
Whether it's an aircraft entering UK airspace
which, quite possibly could be an Airbus A380 with 600 previously happy passengers and you are ordered to "Typhoon 23 Xray 6100 now Hostile 6100 Splash Hostile 6100"

Would your views count against you at OASC? Possibly. However provided you have what it takes and can argue cogently why you should be considered for either limited combat or a non-combatant role, then you would have a chance.
Having taken advice the answer is NO CHANCE.
