Depends on what they are guarding along with why one wishes to relinquish their guard.

Every man is responsible for their actions. If a person robbing a bank was not threatening to kill anyone but demanded money I would not be justified in killing the robber. The robber could be starving and robbing the bank in his/her last ditch effort to remain alive. I'd be immoral to not allow this person to take what they need below the line of affordability. When people do not give the person money they're able to afford they become immoral. If the robber burst into the bank wielding an assault rifle threatening to blow everyones' "stinking" head off then that robber would be morally justified if and only if everyone the robber was attempting to kill were psycho serial murderers that ate the people they killed(One could argue deer but another topic.) on top of the fact that if the guard killed the robber he/she'd be morally unjust because they acted on the assumptions those they were protecting were either moral or because they recieved money to protect the immoral. What ties everything together is ones intelligence is defined by moral certainty. Anyone that brandishes a weapon on the intent to kill to preserve a life is defined as as moral or immoral as those they serve.

I'd never fight for America if I hadn't known why. Picking up a weapon to kill by no other reason other than command is no different than cold blooded murder simply because of a mere possibility.

No one within the realms of rational forethought would throw a knife in the air without making sure they wouldn't harm a child. If "you" do, "you" deserve to die
