But I would rather see 1000 of these videos than hear that some more of our boys got hit or hurt by these thugs.
These videos are not fun to watch. Yes, we are watching the bad guys get theirs. Yes, I like to see the bad guys get killed instead of doing any harm to Americans. But PLEASE... all casual observers... understand this...
Killing is not exactly an easy business. Most of the soldiers I know who have had to kill another man are affected by it. Even though you did the right thing, it stays with you. Even in the "it's me or him" situation. It's a grim business and anyone with a conscious cannot help but to feel the weight of it.
That doesn't mean these soldiers should hesitate to kill the enemy. Far from it. Bad men deserve to die.
You'll often see jubilant reactions from soldiers on the field. It feels good to win. It feels good to walk away alive. A hearty congratulations should always be extended to the men that perform their grim duty.
But, please... PLEASE... remember that it IS a grim duty. Respect these men for having the intestinal fortitude to carry it out. But don't wallow in the moment.
