You wouldn't fair well in war.

If you did any time in the military, you would have learned one thing. The enemy is the enemy. Kill or be killed. I didn't have time to think about their family or that they were part of the human race. I was trained to keep my emotions at a level to where I can perform my duties at a high level. My duties were simple and were outlined in an op order. There was no mention of have sympathy as I am positive the enemy had no sympathy on me or my fellow team members.
