Don't think of it as a pissing contest. If you think about the count, equal human and alien life alike to numbers, that makes the guilt worse. If you were involved in a war, that number is going to be high no matter what.
The enemy probably thought the same thing. The good fight. There is no such thing as the good fight. Fighting to survive and fighting for peace and freedom, to end the oppression, that's all it is about.
And you're going to keep thinking about it. There's no other way around this. Survivor's guilt isn't something to take lightly.
Some consider this as a vacation. Everything back home won't move forward when we're missing from it. It just doesn't feel right to me. Still. There are people here that we shouldn't have ever met.
