From what I've seen, that's definitely an accurate statement. Snipers (as a whole) are about the most oddball group of guys I've ever run acrossed.
Setting the whole " Is it right to take someones life" arguement aside for a moment, using the military as an example of having the will to kill is a poor choice. No operator in the military gets to choose his targets. He's following orders, either a specific target or a specific set of conditions under which he is allowed to use deadly force. There was an article published last week in The Army Times where a US Army SSgt. shot and killed a man in Iraq. He claims the man was injured and he was "putting him out of his misery". He has been charged with 2nd degree murder for the death.
Even in the military, if you take someones life without recieving authorization, you will face the same punishment that any civilian would.
