Depends what motive
well ye thats true
Depends on if you’ve done it before
After the first time what’s the 13th?
you murder people everyday via inacti0on
That being said, I agree with JBP on the matter. Being unable to kill isn't virtuous
But the average person given a gun against the temple of a stranger wouldn’t pull the trigger
@lunemarie - Odds of getting caught increases with each victim.
thats why my plan on dealing with antifa is randomly take one of them and detain them. take all their info and spread them to universities and their parents. they **thrive** on using anonymity to commit crimes. take that off and they become weak
@Arthur Grayborn what if you kill them legally?
There's pretty much no way to do that as of the present.
Antifa is a prime example of the people who want to do violence, but don't understand its nature
Unless you're lucky enough to be assigned as an executioner to one of the very very few death penalty verdicts.
@lunemarie ill tell u more even most soldiers dont shoot to kill
What if I said under duress? Murder under duress is legal?
Correct. We don't
Well duress under certain circumstances
Most soldiers in current wars don't even enter combat.
Well, "we." I am not one anymore
It's not the Vietnam era anymore. Most of our military personnel are drivers, or work from behind a desk, or do a wide variety of mechanical work. Most security people never see combat.
Still, few people have time to consider what they're doing as "killing"
thats why snipers drain more "life" compared to rando soldiers.
grunts can do a whole campaign by just blindly firing into a building or general area of an enemy. a sniper specifically has to isolate individuals and know full well that theyll be taking a life
The actual combat people are a small minority of the armed services. Special forces does killing, but most of the others probably never have to fire their gun. Unless they get unlucky.
They just shoot at the target that is shooting at them. That's all there is to it
That's true in the US-context, @Arthur Grayborn
Donesn't always apply.
I had a cousin serve in Afghanistan. His word for it was "boring."
In four years he never saw action, not even once. None of his unit were ever targeted. His only complaint was that sand got everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Apparently sand getting into every nook and cranny of the human body is a major problem in the Middle East.
so does "stormtrooper syndrome" actually exist
For instance, my country would have to have many men in combat if our hypothetical enemy would attack
like youve been trained for years but the moment you meet actual combat you just get the aim of a star wars storm trooper due to sheer stress
Because we don't have the firepower or the air superiority of the USA
@Arthur Grayborn my older brother served in syria and he was so bored he wanted to kill himself
Shellshock, "War Fatigue," PTSD, yeah.
Imagine forming close friendships with a bunch of people, and then watching half of them die in front of you while screaming in terrible agony.
It kinda says it does
ok cant watch video links either
If you're a soldier who actually loses a bunch of close friends in combat, or you get in a particularly nasty fight with a gory, bloody aftermath, especially dead kids, that's going to fuck up most people.
Ok, just search Lindybeige in Youtube when you can
