It's crazy because you see language like Kyle's used as early as the Philippine invasion insurrection with American soldiers writing letters home about how great it was to kill savages (to say nothing about what the attitude toward Indians was at the time and earlier). While it wouldn't have been unusual for those soldiers to be seen as heroic in the 1890s, it's pretty jarring in 2015.
