no we would accurately describe the vermin on the otherside as "evil barbaric savages". Coward not necessarilly, but like a nazi sniper, or any other villian fighting for evil, they are evil, while a sniper fighting for right, is not only not cowardly, but also a hero |
That's really not what the movie was trying to say, though. He was good at his job, and his job was essential to operational success, and the operation itself was important (to sort the mess we had created in Iraq, attempt to restore order, and remove some people who indeed deserved the "barbarian" label from terrorizing the country), but the question is the human cost, not only in the lives he had to take, but in his own plummeting quality of life.
I don't doubt that the issue hits home with you, but it bears reflecting upon. War is a terrible thing that changes people, even exceptional warriors.
