I'm super-leftie-liberal, and a subscriber of the, "meh..ain't hurting anyone" outlook.
BUT
I'm always surprised by the ease with which I can kill things and see death. I thought deer hunting last year would mess me up a little...but I didn't feel a second of remorse or guilt. I think this is at least a little weird. GW'S sister was raised in a crazy hunting family, went deer hunting every year and still never managed to pull the trigger until she was 25...and hasn't been able to again since. His mother doesn't come out during the season and sets weird limits on where they can be killed fairly. I'm of the "meh, feeding my family" school of thought. No sport, no thrill, no feelings. Just get the job done.
Anyway, my point is...I can't imagine joining the army or something...but I can easily imagine lots of scenarios in which I could kill.
Threatened family, for instance.
