American Sniper celebrates the lone killer

"American Sniper" celebrates the lone killer: the man who decides: kill or spare?

It reminds me of a playground challenge from my childhood:

Q: "Would you go back in time and kill Hitler, knowing you would be captured and tortured to death?"

A: "Hell yes! Hitler must die!" (and I will be a man).
