          Well some mod keeps removing peoples’ comments that aren’t even going against the grain of other commenters so… maybe you should be repeating what they said?

        In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.

        IRL, I’ve got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.

          This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.

          You don’t unholster your gun unless you’re prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.

          But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.

          Even hunting takes something out of you. It’s a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.

            An animal cannot choose to be a nazi nor fabricate a genocide, so yea, that’d definitely hit different.

          Eehhhhhhh personally I think it’d depend greatly on who it was.

          Some poor sap drafted or otherwise forced to fight against me for someone else’s cause? Yea, that’s going to suck.

          Choking out some loser who fantasizes about being hitler in 2025? Yea, I’ll sleep like a baby that night.

          While a German soldier in ww2 could go either way, some fascie piece of shit cosplaying in the US has no obligation to be such a piece of shit and has thusly chosen that path. Such a mfer who chooses to be that vile? Yea, remorse isn’t entering the equation.

            I mean, “paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby” describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.
