There are not many like that but some.  Most people in a unit of that type thirst for the rush of combat.  Lots of different alignments in the same type unit doing same job.  Some can do it without any feeling at all (N), some agonize, some vomit (G), some laugh (make humor about the tragedy to mitigate feelings) (what'd that be?) only one I've met liked it and he was short lived (E).  Must have been really smart to beat the MMPI and psych interviews.  However, I know what you are saying and its a valid point just being a little DA (devils advocate) forgive?  If there was a person who made a conscious choice to take the mission for the sole purpose of preventing further bloodshed - then I agree with your assessment whole heartedly.  DerHauptman-Out!</blockquote>
