I guess that makes me a sociopath.
When several dozen VC are running straight at you, there is no time for the pleasantries of puking like a girly-man. You just kill the first one and go on to the next.

Same thing happened to my uncle in Vietnam. Medevac pilot. Shot down three times. Saw all types of blood and guts. Never phased him...until the last shoot down. Landed on a hill after RPG hit him, went through his copilot and into cabin area killing everyone. He crawled from the chopper and all of the sudden an arrow went by his head towards a bunch of VC.

He grabbed his Winchester M2 and ran towards the Montagnards in the treeline. When they ran out of arrows, they told him: Shoot that one, and that one!

Well, he did shoot them, and wishes he could do it again, even today. He was rescued a couple of days later. Never flew again. Owns an RV and goes everywhere nowadays.

I have his pre-86 amnesty registered M2 .30cal. and will NEVER sell or give that up. Proven commie killer that one day, may be needed to kill tyrants, terrorist, criminals and commies here (but I repeat myself).
