What do you know about killing. (Part 2)

[gambit]

Sorry I fail to see any relevance of your post. I am from defence force myself and have seen several combat ops. This is not things you write or gloat about.

Then Colonel Grossman must be gloating all the way to the bank, eh?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Killing

On Killing is required reading at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia and is on the United States Marine Corps' recommended reading list.

This is a serious subject.

No one is gloating or glorifying killing here. Killing in war and combat have been studied by just about every culture. We are fortunate to be living in modern times where serious thoughts and analyses are recorded and disseminated for everyone to learn.

People change, if not at their cores, then at least in minds and behaviors. Those who have killed in combat are changed forever in ways most do not understand. Many suffers mental anguish in private to the extent that not even their immediate families knows of that suffering. To call it 'gloating' is revealing that one have been too drunk on action movies and have a distorted view of what goes on in combat.

How?

killing has been studied worldwide and it is something you cannot avoid when you are talking about war. What a man gone thru physically and psychologically when you kill a human being is how you best represent the condition in war.

I don't just sit around and doing nothing in war, or pray to god I don't have to kill anyone in battle? So how sick you are talking about?
