Of course any killing of a human does something to people (especially when it's something that you do over and over) but do different situations have a different effect on the human psyche?

I think so. However, having never been in a 'push button' scenario, I cannot say with certainty. Closest I came to something like that was being in a unit that called in arty and air strikes on targets, and even then it wasn't me calling it on. I just watched.

Still, there is something to be said for being at the so-called 'pointy end of the spear'. Watching the results of your actions, and those of others, in the flesh.
