I could go into great depth about Garlean military structure, suffice it to say that your average Garlean footsoldier is quite brainwashed. They're put through rigorous training to make killing literally a second nature to them. To a point where they can do it without even thinking about it. Mindless killing machines. In fact, it was mentioned that as a part of a daily training regimen, Garlean Soldiers are forced to kill something, anything, once a day. They do so in order to build up a tolerance to the act so they can kill without second guessing themselves. It makes them incredibly efficient, and very ruthless.
That being said, while it could be possible to break free from that, most ex-garlean military characters are kind of broken people. They'd generally suffer from extreme bouts of PTSD and probably not function very well in society.
Makes for an interesting character, but it's something to think about. Has consequences, basically.
This is all canonically speaking, of course. :>
Take it with a grain of salt.
