Oftentimes limbs, even heads, are blown off a person, and they don't die, at least right away (well unless it's their head of course). And there's nobody on the other end, doing the killing, who experiences actually taking that life and watching the victim suffer; there's no accountability. The person killed by a Tomahawk might not ever even be known.

My own opinion is that they cruel nature of a deliberate beheading imparts a depravity not seen in most bombstrikes, for instance.

Both suck, I suppose, but I know very few people who wish to ponder death even as they know it's occurring. This adds a dimension of psychological torture in most cases.
