Shooter

I found another good serie on Netflix! I'm stucked at the computer watching Shooter from 3 hours now, and still 5 episodes left to watch.
I chose that serie because I like sniper stories and because the black actor who worked on Dr. House (I don't know his name), and I'm not disappointed at all. So bad it's just 1 season so far.
I'm very curious about how soldier's mind works... how they deal with the fact that they are killers? I couldn't kill even an animal. 
How can you have honor, loyalty, faithfulness and also be a killer? Our beliefs can be so powerful. I feel kinda admiration, sadness and fear for them. I would like to analyze and understand them. Our mind can be amazing. 
Writing this I realized that I'm trying to understand people's mind all the time... I don't know why

well it's not like you're killing innocent people. You're killing people who will kill you if you don't kill them. Accidentally killing an innocent person fucks up a lot of soldiers, if they do it on accident.

Yes I know but the people that you kill are in the same position than you. They are soldiers and they fight for their believes, their country. And when you leave the battlefield you have to deal with your conscience alone, you have to justify yourself. I can't imagine how they feel. It's too much weight to hold

Yeah, I find understanding other people fascinating too.
Especially if they're from very different cultures.
