No. Not necessarily. It's... not an unusual thing, sad to say, to grow more used to such things until it ceases to bother you. I'd be lying if I said it bothered me every time I took a life.

It does not become a true problem until you start to like it. Or, more specificaly, once you start enjoying the pain and fear of others. But it is a thing those of us that's seen too much of battle should be conscious of. For it does... make it easier for us to decide it is necessary to take a life. Even when there are other courses of action still open to us.

So be aware of that part of yourself and know it carries both advantages and liabilities when it comes to deciding which action you're going to take.
