I'm sure for many of the combat vets among us...war killing must be segemented into thinking of it as "doing my job". I know Don Malarkey tries to segment it that way.
My B-17 pilot Uncle never talked about it...but he had to know of the mass killing he performed. No pinpoint bombings then.
Those in battle are only the point of the spear...supply clerks to the commander in chief share in the burden.
An old phrase, but a true one... War is Hell.
