Our snipers save American lives. Their job is to kill. People. Enemies.
Do we really want our snipers to be ambiguous about the people they are ordered to kill? It would seem to me that this is the opposite of psychopathic, as it is a necessary coping mechanism to need to feel justified in what you are doing. The only healthy mental posture, from what I can see.
We see them behead people, and shoot teenagers for watching football. What’s not to hate?
This reminds me of the stories about Canadian WWII ace George Beurling.
Here's Wikipedia's description of Beurling's work giving speeches on a war bond drive after being injured in combat:
After landing back in Britain, Beurling was then sent to Canada to join a Victory Loan Drive, selling war bonds... He did not enjoy the war bond campaign. Also, he often said things that embarrassed the RCAF, such as that he enjoyed killing people...
In a way, I admire Maher's honesty. He admits that he's one of those people who can't handle the truth.
