It's against human nature to kill. 325 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,240 That's why most murders are crimes of passion. 326 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,960 The soldiers in the Special Forces are trained to kill. 327 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,440 We never act out of anger. 328 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,920 In such a scenario, we would not kill the man. 329 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,120 -What if the woman died? -We wouldn't kill him. 330 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,400 It's war, not peace. 331 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,600 We'd kill him if he pointed a weapon at us. 332 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:58,160 I find it odd that Hals claims the soldiers are practically unfazed. 333 00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:00,000 But in this video, 334 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,120 you're clearly marked by the gravity of the situation. 335 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:09,400 Not acting out of passion is not the same as not being human. 336 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,760 There's a difference between basing the operation on emotions 337 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,080 and dealing with feelings later.
