I'm taking about while deployed here. If you could find the person/people responsible for all the death and destruction around you, would you kill them on sight? I lost both of my legs and many good friends and leaders but I don't know if I would track them down a shoot them like a dog. Maybe I wouldnt but would you? Or is this just war stuff and not take it personally?

That's a real hard thing to deside because as much as you might want to, most level headed individuals might tend to feel that regardless of our pain we are not as cold hearted for the act of revenge or payback.
But regardless sorry if you or someone you know has dealt with this sacrifice,and Thank you for your service.

SFC Joseph James, First of all, you are a SUPER Hero.... And not just to me, to a country that Loves you and Honors you.
This is just "war stuff"; and you DECIDEDLY should NOT take it PERSONALLY. These people are insecure; and want to have power over you; I guess.... (Sergeant First Class, I pray that you are receiving some kind of Psychiatric help. Seeking such help is not a 'sissy' thing to do; it is a very, very brave thing to do.)
If I were you, I would go find leaders (professionals), who accept and love you the way that you are. People who are balanced, secure and who unconditionally love/like you.
When I go to the VA Hospital, I talk to men without one/two legs. I just see them as people; and respect them. They just want their stories to be listened to.

Yes if he had a gun or knife I would with out a doubt he is going to be wounded or dead. I enjoy life to much to let someone take it from me..

I don't ever want to be the person to kill anybody. But I would take it upon myself to ensure that justice served.
