to take into account everything posted, I'll let this thread die.

So it is safe to assume that, even though the life you took is the life of an enemy, a life who's mission at that time was to take yours, you still feel guilt and remorse, and that in different circumstances the man you killed would be alive today able to reap the fruits of his existence.


The main thing I was trying to get at, is how does an impersonal war kill affect the you and your mindset as compared to a personal kill. See in war, you do not know the names of those you put down, and that plays a big roll in being able to let it go and accept vindication.
