I guess if you are a sniper, you are quite far removed from those you are killing.I know this is something that has been happening for humanity’s entire written history and more but… I still fail to comprehend how someone can be personally killing 7-10 people a day during a war and then at the end of it simply letting it slide off him and integrating back into society. I just can’t.
I think if I killed 1 person I’d have PTSD. Killing 10 sounds crazy, it’d be life altering. I can’t even imagine killing 10 a day and then being able to sleep again.
PS. It’s easier for a leader to give a command and feel disconnected from the result if he’s not doing it himself or observing the result with his eyes. Gunning someone down yourself feels very personal.
There’s also a massive difference between defending your own country, or joining a army defending their country who the whole world sees as morally just, and invading another country unprovoked, for dubious reasons, or acting simply as a mercenary killing for cash.
