You are falling into precisely the trap that the left wants you to fall into. Take a few lines from an entire lecture out of context and then demand people respond to them without that context. Don't let yourself do that.
If you are in a line of work (e.g. combat arms, beat cop in an urban area) where taking a life is something that you may have to do, and you have knowingly and rationally prepared for that grave responsibility over the course of your training, considering all of the ethics and ramifications of that responsibility in your hands, no, the actual act of you performing that act in a situation warranting it shouldn't be a "big deal." The real "big deal" is the preparation you put into one day having to make a split second decision that will potentially end a life. Mentally avoiding all of that responsibility in the hope that such a day will never come is what leads to bad decisions in the heat of the moment, regrets after the fact, PTSD, and depression. It's a major career long investment, and one not everyone is cut out for. That's the point of the "no big deal" bit.
As for the great sex line, it's the same mischaracterized out of context tactic. Grossman, in his research, interviewed hundreds of people on their experiences in the line of duty, and repeatedly that phrase kept coming up, not as a bonus, but in the terms of deep regret. Policemen who had just encountered a life altering experience by being involved in a shooting made these comments and Grossman mentioned them not to celebrate killing, but to help people rationalize the psychological effects of traumatic events. It's hardly a celebration or serial killing as it's been mischaracterized.
I could be “out of context”. Which leftists also protest when they can.
But I don’t think this was anywhere appropriate. Sounds like a very cavalier attitude.
No one who knows me would ever call me a leftist. Being RIGHT doesn’t mean we are rock-hard careless unfeeling robots.
Agree with you. The context is lost with only a few statements plucked from his program.
Those who have never been there will never under stand.
