    I guess that does look rather bad in retrospect’

    But they don’t. The psyche requires them to absolutely not accept that. I don’t think you understand how far a human mind will go with coping when it’s required.

    So just having to believe that it’s a justified sacrifice means you do believe it so it doesn’t matter if it the death was unjust as it served a higher purpose. So theyre doing their job. Getting the job done matter, not what it looks like. That was the whole point of my comment. Optics aren’t a thing in the military. That’s what was so freeing about it.
