I'm curious as to what the NCOs and officers you served with who had been in combat had to say about it, specifically, taking a life. In a general sense, were they in agreement with what the man in that article said, or were they of a different opinion? I, being a mechanic, have never been in combat, and I thank goodness for that. But I have read hundreds of accounts from combat veterans and it seems that most of them did what they had to do in the situation they were in...many of them said it bothered them later, but it seemed to me very few said they would have done things differently if they had it to do again. I pray that the Good Lord will give me strength to do what is necessary if I am ever put in that position.
I was waiting for some who'd been to offer up their opinions first.

Vietnam Vets

An opinion piece by a retired Vietnam Vet in today's San Antonio Express New. I came into the Army soon after Nam, never served in combat but had many NCOs who did. And served with officers who had. I'd like your opinions on this.
