My brother-in-law said that many of the snipers he knew in Viet Nam seemed to be psychopaths. Or anyway some kind of nut: not people you wanted to socialize with.

Not all were psychopathic of course. Some were decent guys who were finally emotionally destroyed by what they did, I'm told a number of them are still living on the Olympic peninsula and in like wilderness areas. They can't bear to be around people.
