"So is the American soldier supposed to feel bad for killing a terrorist? "

I hope they don't see it as a game (they should realize this after the first return fire or shell blast), and I hope they don't enjoy it. Ever hear of Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome? Ever see pics of people, young children with half their faces gone, the results napalm, or missing arms and legs or dead? And if you thought you were responsible, how would you feel?

I guarantee you there will be a lot of soldiers coming back with extreme guilt and shame because they ended up blowing up/killing civilian men, women and children (aka collateral damage). Or they'll not acknowledge it, bury it in their subconscious and end up as a "productive" member of society or maybe klll one of us or themselves.

It happened in VN. It'll happen again too.

The rush to war brings with it many burdens.
