"It felt good to do my job, good to take a bad guy out."

Yesterday, I chatted with a patient that was a 15 year old in Holland during World War II. She told me how they had hidden two Jews in the house for a time and later had German troops quartered in their house against the family's wishes.

I jokingly asked her if "the Germans were nice" and she unexpectedly answered me that, yes, the German soldiers quartered in her house were actually very nice boys who had been drafted and didn't really want to be there unlike the SS who were pure evil.

One "good" thing about the Battle of Fallujah is that our Marine snipers will not have any future pangs of guilt about having to have killed two or three dozen "nice boys". The people being killed in Fajullah by our Marine snipers are definitely "bad guys" that need killing and our Marines feel good about their job.

Indeed and I wonder if this is part of the "flypaper" military strategy. If so, it seems to be working.
