What could make you kill someone?

And here is the other perspective - someone who kills because his job demands it and yet seems to feel very little guilt about taking a human life. He rationalizes his actions as a job requirement, a public service and one that his faith (Christianity) condones.

As you are aware, unfortunately, war is dirty business. The guys in the frontline have a job to do. They have to rationalize it however they can, as a job requirement, as part of faith or whatever else. at the risk of stating the obvious, war should be avoided at all costs. This way, soldiers will not de-humanize their targets, and we, in turn, will not de-humanize soldiers.
