I disagree with you. My goal was never to go and kill who I was told to kill. I have never once received an order to "go kill someone". The orders we would receive would involve forcing the release of a food supply to the people, protecting a food supply shipment for distribution to the people, calm unrest in a specific village, provide protection for an area under threat. Many often times in doing these missions we would be engaged and we'd be forced to return fire and ultimately hurt people. We may have gone expecting to kill, but not gone for the sole purpose of killing.
