There's a scene in the Australian show Mr Inbetween where the main character, a hitman, is being interviewed by someone writing a "true crime" book. She asks him if he feels remorse, if he has concern for those left behind by the hits: typically, the wives and children of the criminals he eliminates. The show to that point has made clear that his grievances are only with criminals/abusers/bullies.

He mentions that the interviewer knows his army history and he observes that no one asks about the families of people he's killed while a soldier. He was instead awarded medals for such behaviour.
