The "death is around us anyway" logic doesn't really jive in my opinion. I mean, on one hand I get it: In this world it's kill or be killed. But doesn't then lend an extremely selfish attitude towards the people we're sharing the world with? I've seen people playing heroic character archetypes that are just completely fine with murdering anyone who stands in the way of their idealism, and it doesn't really come across as the begrudging hero sort, it's just murder because I'm the Good Guy and you're the Bad Guy.
It's ultimately up to the individual writer how they want to tackle the issue, but I'm inclined to agree with the original post. There's a casual attitude or half-reasoned justification for why we're allowed to play kind, genial, merciless killing machines.
