sick...
ain't that true bravery..
...stab a dog to death whilst it's tied up between two poles...
and Scooby...why is it a necessary evil...how does that teach you to kill a human.....it's hardly hand to hand combat is it ?....sticking a knife into someone (or animal) whilst it's spreadeagled and unable to move is hardly self defence is it...
I couldn't stick a knife in the belly of a person or animal screaming with fear for it's life - there is a scene in Saving Private Ryan near the end along these lines.
The fact I couldn't see myself doing this in a life or death situation suggests I would probably be killed, which would make me a pretty useless soldier.
I part accept that for a soldier to perform their function, and not be distracted from their purpose, they need to be able to ignore screaming/crying/pleading etc - only way I know is by training.
I in no way condone the actions of tieing up a defenceless animal, then slashing it belly followed by eating it's heart - as the article describes, in fact I find it highly offensive.
But how do you train killers to be affective?
