"My son wants to be a sniper." How would you feel if someone said this to you?

I just saw a facebook update from one of my friends that said this, “Finished watching “Enemy at the Gates” a while ago with son who wants to be a sniper.”

I have mixed feelings about this. I can understand wanting to join the military and then once you are in the military being assigned the role of “sniper” because you are a good shot, but it seems slightly worrisome for a teenager to want to be a sniper (the whole desire to kill humans part is slightly disturbing to me.) But, I know boys often want to be soldiers, so maybe he’s just really specific? What do you think?
