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.
We should respect the achievement while being disappointed that it was necessary.
