I've never been in that scenario, either. My role is support oriented. What really seems like would be rough is the job of a sniper. I read the book Marine Sniper and it goes into that a little bit and how it wasn't easy for people to do. That type of killing is very personal and yet you have to be impersonal about it.

Agreed. It is almost like snipers form a bond with their targets. As you know, I've served in a line unit. Fighting there can be up close and personal, as well as ranged. Still, when the fighting is up close, it is quick and violent. You don't study your enemy, per se. Certainly not in the same sense as a sniper does.
