I think is what we have here is a failure to communicate. You guys both quoted my post but still misunderstood it. Thats alright though, I do it all the time myself. My statements was:

>>>"Right now the American soldiers fighting this war are people who pretty much enjoy killing for a living."<<<

That statement is factually correct. The majority of US soldiers in Iraq will never even shoot their gun in anger much less kill an Iraqi. They are cooks, mailmen, etc.

So the soldiers who are purposely volunteering for dangerous duty where they are likely to kill some Iraqis would naturally be the guys who enjoy this type of work. And this ain't all bad either. Shit if we ever got in a real war where if we lost another country could come in here these are exactly the kind of guys I would want on the front line. I wouldn't want no mister nice guys on the front lines in that situation. But to suggest these guys do not like doing what they are trained to do is wrong.
