Shooter (post #4)

“I didn’t have time to worry about that s***. I was merely a destroyer of men.”
“I pulled the bolt back and reloaded, oblivious to what was going on around me. That was someone else’s job, and if I needed to know something, they would
tell me. As Casey later explained, “Unless I absolutely had to get into his zone, I left him alone. You don’t want to f*** with a man’s zone, especially
when he’s killing people and doing good things” (203).

The first two sentences in the quote are really strong statements. The part when he says he is a destroyer of men makes me think about war, and how everyone
in a war is out to kill one another over different values. It shows what war really is, and it is a destroyer of men. In the second part of the quote it
talks about how territorial snipers are when they are doing their job. I think this is similar to war because countries are always serious about their
territories. Territories are what separate different cultures and people. Territories even start wars, if they aren’t respected or if they are crossed they
can cause wars all over an imaginary line. The killing people and doing good things part stands out to me because you wouldn't normally think of killing
people as a good thing, but in a war anything goes, and if that means killing the enemy to save one of your own men our your country then it is a good thing.
I think it would be wrong if it was killing targeted at young children instead of the enemy.
