There is no such thing as not shooting to kill. glOP needs to atone for Waco by jumping into a volcano.
Who can actually shoot to kill. Not as simple as you may think

Could. No soldier am I, but I think I could. I would rather not. I expect I’d have more nightmares if I did. I’m a pacifist, as people ought to be. I’d suffer for having done it.
Pacifism is part of a fully reciprocal ethic. It’s okay to kill people who have killed people (“live by the sword, die by the sword” is grotesque, but it doesn’t violate reciprocity), but it’s not really good to kill anyone. I don’t like the death penalty. I detest wars.
I think this might be a wrongful bias on my part, an incompletion of my philosophy, but I also find the death of child molesters easily forgiven. Still, I won’t advocate the death penalty for child molesters, nor would I shelter a vigilante who said their targets were pedophiles. I think I may have said something to the contrary once, but I’m not sure; if I did, I believe I was acting a role.
The ethics of murder are something I’ve contemplated at length. I’ve talked myself out of three of them. I don’t ever expect I’ll fail at that task, but… y’know. Dark night of the soul.
Sigh. The cultural replacement of dark nights with dork knights fucking sucked.

Lol, exalt the broken man some more. I come here regularly for this. This kind of exorbitant weakness doesn’t exist elsewhere on earth.
The man threw his life away. Copycats would just be doing the same. No society was ever strong because people in it shattered at random in explosive rage at the mere existence of people they’d never interacted with.

I think most military is fucked in the head because they realise they are killing strangers for no reason. If you were sent to a strange place to kill people you know nothing about for no reason you might realise you are a fucked up individual.
Only time I could kill is if my family is in danger or my life is in danger.

There are two orders of beings born in this world, the good and the evil. The good I have fully described; I will now describe the evil ones, Arjuna.
Evil men have understanding neither of action nor of inaction. Purity, right conduct, or truth are not found in them. They say the universe is unreal, without foundation, without governance, arising in no set order, with nothing but desire for its motive force. Perverse in spirit, lacking and understanding, cruel in the things they do, the followers of this creed stand as enemies of the world, set on its destruction.
Filled with insatiable desire, possessed of hypocrisy, pride and lust, they seize mistaken ideas and act from deluded motives. Relying on a feverish imagination that leads to ruin, they are enmeshed in enjoyment of appetites, convinced that this is all there is. Imprisoned in a hundred bonds of desire, given over to lust and anger, they try to accrue wealth by illegitimate means to satisfy their appetites.
Confused by ignorance, one says, "I have grasped what I wanted today; I will go after more tomorrow. This wealth is mine; I will grab more in the future. This enemy I have slain; others I will likewise slay. I am lord; I live for enjoyment; I am successful, strong, and happy. I am wealthy and noble; who is my equal? I will make offerings and give to charities. I will exult".
Bewildered and erring from a web of delusions, chained to enjoyment of desires, they descend into a foul hell. Self-conceited, stubborn, intoxicated with pride in their wealth, they make offerings that are offerings in name only, hypocritical and not in accord with propriety. Possessed by egoism, given over to violence, pride, desire, and wrath, they jealously bear hate against me, the divine principle in their own and others' bodies.
These that hate me, foul, cruel, and basest of men, I hurl into the wombs of demons when they pass through the cycle of lives. Falling into demonic wombs and bewildered in birth after birth, they never achieve union with me, Arjuna. They descend to the lowest condition of living things.
Desire, wrath, and greed, these are the triple gates of hell that destroy the self; therefore one should abandon these three. Released from these three gates of darkness, Arjuna, a man can do what is good for the self within him and achieve the highest condition. He who walks under the guidance of desire, forsaking what is written concerning right and wrong, does not achieve perfection, nor happiness, nor reach the supreme way.
Therefore you should know the written rules for achieving good or evil, and so distinguish right from wrong.
