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.
