The reason why I am asking is that this side of the "shoot" is rarely understood or discussed. I am 100% certain officers carry a lot of emotional baggage around after a tense few seconds...
Counseling was offered and used by my husband and myself for as long as we wanted it. It took almost 4 months before he was cleared to returned to duty. We are taught all our lives that killing is wrong, so when you have to take a life it really affects you. I cant even begin to imagine what the service men and women who kill in combat go through.
