I assume by the time a soldier, etc. gets to a battle area he/she has been thoroughly trained to take the enemy's life, position. Same for police though civil restraints apply, if possible. In society- polite society- there have been other methods of "killing" off of individuals or groups.
I hope we get a full report on the downing of the Chinook. Was it an RPG or a suicide vest worn by one of the Afghan commandos? I do swat the occasional bug but that's as far as it goes. When duck and goose hunting, I preferred to gather the wildflowers. Plus a rifle has a "kick" and hurt my shoulder.
