Military is necessary, and as such there is a dark art and even a pragmatic humanity in what they do.
I agree with this. But I also get uncomfortable "celebrating" incredible success in blowing off a man's head. Even if that man might be scum.
I felt the same when Bin Laden was killed. People were celebrating with glee, but I think we should be more humble & civil when taking a person's life when it may be necessary. We should be pleased in our effectiveness to carry out terrible but necessary missions. Smiles and happy celebrations seem out of place.
