of toll does this take on the individual? Would you liken it to a doctor/ nurse that couldnt save a patient, effect wise? I ask this because im currently considering a law enforcement career (small town?) but I'm worried about the mental strain put on cops, especially in situations involving deadly force... my other choice, career wise, would be medical...but, if i cant handle the thought of a patient dying on me, do i have ANY business in a career where i may have to take anothers life? I'm second guessing myself here... I would like to use law enfocement as a stepping stone to becoming a game warden, ideally, but if that falls through, with an Associates in Park Management/ Law Enfocement, i could pretty much be confined to police work. Sorry for the length of this, im just rather confused.
Any help is greatly appreciated. And, I'm not weak, dont think that...just wondering what strain this would put on personal time/ life.

LMN, thanks for the opinion...thanks to all of you, but lmn especially...i found the information very useful...the problem is, game warden jobs are very hard to come by, and experience as an officer puts you higher up the ladder when testing/ interviews come around.

Also, the question isnt whether or not i can use deadly force...i know for a fact i could...its just the strain afterwards that the question was actually focusing on...It HAS to be difficult going intro work the next day knowing you took a life the day/ night before.. even routine duties would become hard, in my opinion...just trying to get a guage on the emotions that go along with the job.
