I somewhat suspect that this is the fetishization of "strength" combining with the embrace of raw id and never expressing self-control. The practical purpose of refraining from killing and hurting civilians is self-control, and having that makes you weak. Collateral damage becomes strength.

Yeah! The goal is to do this stuff in a way that minimizes harm to innocents as much as possible! Both for ethical and practical reasons!

I really don’t know what goes through the minds of people who think that preventing civilian harm isn’t worth pursuing
