McVeigh said in that interview he gave that the only thing that ever bothered him was killing an Iraqi soldier in the Gulf War while he considered the OKC people collateral damage.

I don't know if McVeigh was lying or not, but I think his admission of killing Iraquis during the war is suspect. Granted, I was in the rear (with the XVIII Airborne Corp Commander), but from what I remember, there weren't very many firefights between us and the Iraqui soldiers. When we began movement northward, the Iraqui soldiers I saw were happy to see us! Most of them didn't even have ammo. Not only that, they were using trash bags as NBC protection. It was rather sad, but I was glad that the resistance was useless.
