Why do we say ‘die for your country’ instead of ‘kill for your country’?

Someone signs up for the military and you here ‘willing to go die for my country’
What good does someone going off to die do for us?
Why don’t they say ‘willing to go kill for my country’?

If you're willing to kill for your country would you also be willing to die?

Cause all positions in the military require you to be ready to lay down your life.
They don't all require you to kill

Because dying for ones' country is the ultimate sacrifice, not killing someone else.

Patton said it best. Something along the lines of "make them die for theirs"

Because US Military members are defenders of freedom not killers for freedom

Patton did say that.
He said “nobody ever won a war by dying for his country, you win a war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country”.

if we use that logic then all taxpayers are accessories to killing for country as well.

Marines do not adhere to this creed
our saying is, "our job is not to die for our country, our job is to insure that the enemy dies for his..."

Because nobody has a problem killing for their country, but a lot of people aint risking their life.

I’ve heard people say,” fight for his country’
