I know you’re making a joke, but the Nazis actually ran into the exact same issue. The Einsatzgruppen (death squads) had the problem that executing so many people was ‘demoralizing’ to the troops. They started to suffer mental health problems.
Because of this they started using the gas vans to kill people. But even that was a problem because the soldiers were getting traumatized when they had to empty all the bodies out of the vans. So they started using prisoners to do that work…
But well, it was all very inefficient and that’s how we eventually ended up with fully industrialized death camps with gas chambers and crematoria.
Being a Nazi come with mental baggage?
