A sniper who served in the British Army for 10 years says a "numbness comes" when you kill somebody.
Sergeant Craig Harrison saw active service in Bosnia, Kosovo, two tours of Iraq and two tours of Afghanistan.
Harrison said while looking through the telescopic sight of the rifle "you see a person, you see him breathing, sitting on the floor, maybe smoking a cigarette. You sort of own his life for that split second."
"I'm just doing a job at the end of the day," added Harrison later. "Whatever needs to be taken out, either a vehicle or human, a sniper does that role. It will haunt you."
