I figured it was something along those lines. Strangely enough I agree with you about a soul that takes a life being damaged by it (reference war and draft and rape comments)... but there are still circumstances in which that price must be paid. However, I think the worst and deepest damage happens if you take a life, and do not realize that which you are taking, either because you are that warped (say - dehumanization of the enemy), or because you have a deep streak of denial that cannot allow you to think about what you have done. Meh. There's a lot that can be said on this topic.
