I was pointing out the difference between Hathcock and Kyle: one at least claimed killing wasn't his favorite thing, the other who apparently relished blowing people's shit away.

Also remember he claimed to shoot people off the roof of the Superdome: go to Google Maps and look at the area around the Superdome in Satellite View. If he really was going to shoot looters he would go to where looters were, and there aren't any good sight lines between the Superdome and anything in NOLA that's worth stealing.
