You're a sick, sick person, who clearly needs someone to apply corrective conditioning. 
It's normal (and useful!), imo. Rehearsing for death, cathartic release by proxy, simulation (rather than actualization) of aggressive or deleterious tendencies. Perhaps being "mean" in this way -is- a part of who you are...and I'm jut spitballing here, but it might be a part of who you are that helps you to be "nice" otherwise. By the time you're done beating the conceptual test dummy Joe, you don't have much left in the tank to hit the real Joe with. One thing is clear, however, whatever else these little fantasies do for you (or where they come from) they are a point of introspection. Assessing your interactions (both real and imagined), and exploring mechanisms for change.
Working as intended?

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
