If you were part of the FBI or some kind of organization, would you be used to killing after a while?

This is just a question for a novel



My friend was reading it over and we got into a discussion about how the main character (who is 17) shouldn't be shocked about a stranger being killed in front of him when he's been part of a secret agency where his job sometimes includes killing and seeing death. BUT his whole job does not revolve around assassinating people though.

The story never mentioned how many missions he's gone on in two years. It could only be like 5 since there are loads of other people in the organization.



I said, not everyone would be comfortable with death even if they were faced with it everyday.

My friend said the opposite - if a person is faced with killing/death for a long period of time, it shouldn't phase them anymore.

My argument was that it would only be like that if he was some psychotic serial killer.





';One can never know of the answer until faced with the situation.';



So, I dunno. . . what do you think? Any thoughts? =)

Thanks in advance! %26lt;3

Stop believing fictional accounts. A minor could not be employed in any enforcement agency, and the vast majority of those employed in those agencies never fire a weapon other than on a range throughout their entire career. Less than 1% of all police actions involve violence, and only a small percentage of those involve firearms.
