14. Good Military Leaders Do Not Consider War Or Shooting Others
as fun.

All I can say & I am speaking as a veteran the professional soldiers & my commanders never considered it "fun" to shoot the enemy. If you have read history even the greats, Patton, Eisenhower, Rommel, all those were great historians and all of them respected the enemy and in the highest regard. At the same time they knew who the enemy was and did everything in their power to defeat them in the most humane way they could. Not with disrespect but with dignity. They realized killing was part of war but never fun. Only some idiot or someone without any morals would consider it fun to shoot another soldier or human being.
