Not all that long ago, and perhaps you find this silly, but I would think 'perhaps I killed a young lad, perhaps I orphaned children, perhaps I widowed a woman or made a mother cry', i didn't want that, I'm not a bad man. You kill a man who's done nothing to you, that's war and you do it for your country.
