"You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them.'"

Thus Lt. Gen. James Mattis.

I suppose he did have to be reprimanded, and I find it difficult to imagine it being fun to shoot anybody. But I have to admit that a few near misses might be a hoot.
