A question for our enlisted.

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.

I would imagine there is a remorseful feeling lingering within. Should be human nature. You're fighting a "kill or be killed" game so it's either his life or yours. And who wouldn't rather it be his life and not yours? But I don't think any of those soldiers really wants to kill another person. Deep down.

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

Again, it's that "game" I mentioned above. I think they do feel like war sucks and they wish they didn't have to go through with it. But it has to be done and they can't show any fear or any sign of empathy when they are deep in battle. Later, QD.
