I've got a friend that spent 9 months in Iraq, as a prison guard at Abu Ghirab, he was on the first wave of Air Force guys to take it over from the army, so he still worked hand in hand with them, he was involved in a riot, which almost killed him. He got stuck somewhere and a fire was started, one of his lungs collapsed, and, he's not able to talk about it without some strong emotions. I guess, he didn't have to kill anyone, but the constant state of fear they must live in, has to have some serious effects on people.
