    I think that requires a wilful misinterpretation of what he said to conclude he “very much” enjoyed killing given he expressly says he did not. It’s certainly questionable, but it’s not as blatantly clear as many people are claiming.

      Right, he hated doing it so much that he just had to go back 4 times. And then he continued to hate it while he joined Blackwater as a mercenary.

        I can’t find a single record of him saying he hated it. Many examples of him being disgusted with his past behavior and complacency with imperialism, but in none of them does he say he hated it at the time. Do you have a source where he claims that?

            And yet, I wasn’t being sarcastic. Do you have anything to back up your claim? Because he has consistently represented himself on this issue, and it fundamentally disagrees with your assertions. I can’t find any reason to doubt him or his characterization of himself - which I want to add, is still not exactly great. It’s just not cut and dry like you’re claiming.
