I believe this statement is typical of people who have never experienced the hardship of actual combat. (I have not either for the record, I also voted no) That statement seems to be derived from those who have studied warfare and speak of the best interests of the state. I know this from what I have read and experienced in training, and from my friends who have been in combat. If a soldier is desensitized, that doesnt mean he will kill anyone who crosses his iron sights or has no ethics. For this polls purpose it means he kills the enemy or witnesses the act being done without pshycological effects on himself. Can these be separate?

You are correct. We should never make our troops into mindless killing machines. Its like Fahreinheit 451 all over again.

This is false.
A good soldier does his job, and that almost always means destroying your enemy. I also did not see a link with SS-men and killing machines. Oh yes, they were efficient killers. But can it be the commies/socialistmassmurderers and Amis were nothing more than crappy conscripts and young boys fresh out of Highschool?
Soldiers should NOT be tainted by the "ethical" principles of killing. I do not think you understand the necessity of war. Without war, you would not be the free man you are today. And pansies do NOT get you to freedom! Leve strid! (I know there's no end to this discussion)
