I'll be the first to tell you guys that myself and my fellow soldiers had no problems shooting an enemy in the face if they shot at us without blinking. My mentality and a lot of my fellow Americans in the military have no problem with taking a human life if we feel they're a threat.
I would rather die on my feet fighting then on my knees begging. Then again it's why i joined the military. There's evil people in this world and in my mind it's up to me to keep it free so you can be on the internet to argue about what kind of mentality it takes to have in combat warfare.
Why won't it let me edit my post? This was a reply to people who say men are scared to kill another man in today's times. There are brutal people out there. There's sheep, there's wolves, and then there are sheep dogs. I consider myself a sheep dog. I love life and I value it, but freedom isn't free, and sometimes to preserve life you have to defend it.
Amen. And I think that spirit I am referring to, that mindset to unflinchingly get ones hands bloody, its unique in modern times, especially in western civilizations which have destroyed the ethos of glory and martial manliness, but was still alive and strong in ancient cultures and peoples that were militant, violent, aggressive, and loved all things warrior. People like us are odd nowadays, whereas we were the norm back then.
