Yes. Because as we all know, war is all about cute little ducks and soft fuzzy kitties.
Talk about rhetoric. Have you never heard of gallows humor? It's what these guys use to keep themselves sane. And as far as killing without sympathy, empathy or remorse goes...I don't know about you, but I want the guy that's watching
my back, in a hostile situation, to kill with no sympathy...no empathy...and I hope, no remorse.
This comment disturbs me a bit...
