Not directly, but I did a risky thing, and a few years later a guy tries to replicate it and failed to his demise.
Present!
I did, man. I sure did.

Self defense, several guys were breaking into a house some friends and I were renting in college. Swung a baseball bat at the first guy in because he was armed with a huge knife. He ended up dying. The press tried to make it into one of those poor disadvantaged youth stories because I'm white and the guy was black (he was Puerto Rican) and his buddies were black guys, but the press's take didn't stick, partly because my roommates at the house were two Hispanic guys. It was a real mess, many years ago.
No, doesn't haunt me a bit. Yes, I cracked his melon wide open with that swing, and he dropped backwards out the window, and hit his head on the concrete driveway, double cracks to his noggin. Doesn't bother me at all. Those guys would have killed us. The other two took off, turned out that one of them was armed with a pistol. My buddies and I always wondered why he wasn't the first one through the window rather than the guy with the knife.
Just killed a defenseless guy who was surrendering with his hands up in Oregon and then planted a gun on him.
.... put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead.
Does it make you cry?

No one who has actually killed a man would brag about it on an interweb forum. I've known many a man that served our country in times of war that have. And it's like pulling teeth to get them to talk about it.
Quoting Clint Eastwood from the movie Unforgiven. "It's a hell of a thing killing a man. You take away all he's got or ever will have."
I've known people who have taken the lives of others, either accidentally or purposely. It's nothing they want to brag about and it's something they wished never happened. But since it did happen, it's an event that has scared them forever.
It doesn't matter the circumstances why you caused someone to lose their life. Your life will never be the same after.
If you're a thrill seeker and are thinking about this type of thrill, I'd advise you to think twice about it. No matter how much you try to wash the blood from your hands, trust me when I say, you'll never succeed. Every time you look at your hands you'll see blood.
If you've never killed anything more than a spider or a fly, and you're really curious what it feels like to kill something, have someone take you hunting. You could shoot rabbits, pheasants, squirrels, deer ect. and get an idea how it feels inside a human to take a life that didn't necessarily need to be taken.
I realize that your question is a common and an innocent one from people who've never taken lives. But until you have you'll never know how awkward and inappropriate your question is for some people.
Long story short or short story long; go killing something for yourself then you'll know what it feels like, if you really want to know that badly.

90 percent of the US population opposes the US government.
I did once.
Early one morning
With time to kill
I borrowed Jebb's rifle
And sat on a hill
I saw a lone rider
Crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him
To practice my aim
My brother's rifle
Went off in my hand
A shot rang out
Across the land
The horse, he kept running
The rider was dead
I hung my head
I hung my head
Many people relish killing others, for example the federal assassins who murdered Finicum, and the idiots on this forum who promote killing people just because they are Patriots.
Well there was this one time I was hanging out in a book repository in Texas...
Man In Black had a better reference
90% oppose, yet Obama was re-elected in a landslide? And add to that the fact that incumbents in Congress virtually always win? Where is this mass opposition?

This is a very astute observation
A very good comment overall and I suspect it is very close to how a very large portion of the American population actually thinks.

That was a very long way of saying you haven't. So just say no.
You seem to love bragging about knowing others who have.
You "pulled teeth" making men talk about killing in combat? You really are a piece of shit huh? Bit of a hypocrite too.
Guy just asked an open question, nobody is obligated to answer.
