I would agree in saying that youre right about the first half. And perhaps about the last half. But I dont regret shooting them and it was a lot of fun to shoot them. Im not faulting you for any of your opinions, I simply have an alternate perception. For me, it was like shooting up GI Joes with a bb gun when I was a kid. You dont really WANT to destroy your toys, but it was a lot of fun doing it.
