I understand your point Irate. Of course all of us, if we had to, would kill rather than be killed.
The comment of kill or be killed came from a soldier who apparently indiscriminantly shot at everything in sight, not out of pleasure but out of a sense of duty that he was doing his job and to his knowledge was the proper way to do things. Only by his own reflection, and with his identity secret, did he reveal the horrors that were expected of him.
I can't remember the name of the documentary, but it aired on the CBC in Canada a few months ago and profiled mainly British soldiers and to a minor degree Americans, used as reference
