to the insurgents in the middle east, its not their job. In their mind its a fight for freedom. They are trying to purge their land from a foreign invasion. They dont get paid, they dont get sign on bonuses, they dont have a KIA insurance plan.

again dont take my inquiry the wrong way guys. I am not trying to start an argument.

I am just tying to clarify a few things, like do you feel remorse for killing the enemy, do you empathize the loss their family goes through, and compare it what it would be like for your family if your trigger finger pulled just a few seconds to late and you were the one who was killed.


Do you think the politicians that send you guys to war feel anything when the enemy dies?
