1. In your case, I would not recommend joining the military since you are not willing to take up arms. That is what we call a conscientious objector and as such you are not allowed to join anyway.
2. Unless you are a chaplain, you must bear arms, use them, and kill the enemy if you have to. That is the nature of the Army, and in today’s modern warfare, there are no front lines anymore. Even people safe in the "rear" could have to fire upon and kill the enemy.
3. Normally, no, you would not have to renounce your Lebanese citizenship, but to be a translator, you have to be able to attain up to a TOP SECRET security clearance which would require you to give up your Lebanese citizenship and obtain full US citizenship before joining.
5. The money you make will depend on your rank and time in service. The military does not get paid by what job we do.
