I don't find the attitude of wanting to kill that terrible. It's a fucking war.
I don't like the fact that we as a country are engaged in any of these wars but if I was thrust into the mist of the war I would want to kill anyone who was trying to kill me. I understand the side of the argument about the apparent bloodthirst of these guys in the video and how it seems terrible. Like I said before, I'm really desensitized to it because of the military friends that I have that talk about the people they killed and they often say they can't wait to go back and kill some more. I don't think it's because they necessarily enjoy killing, but it's what they are trained to do and they like the accolades that come down when they do the job well. It's not really something that civilians can understand.. I've been around the military my entire life (thanks dad) and I don't quite understand it, so I doubt a casual bystander can understand it either.
