The Nazi SA (aka Brownshirts or Stormtroopers) were a force Adolf Hitler assembled when he started to gain influence in the then German Workers Party. It was a force designed to disrupt enemy meetings and rough up political opponents. The SS was something Hitler devised much later as he came to power, and he used it as a special tool of ex-army and better trained men to do tougher assignments. Over time the SA was absorbed into the regular army or the SS...

But hey, that's where stormtroopers come from - they're the grunts to do the dirty work.

It wasn't just "absorbed over time". More like "clearing the slate"...

Stormtroopers? They're all clones anyway

That said, as long as the situation isn't too dire and I'm permitted enough time to think, I tend to be pretty lenient in games. In Hidden & Dangerous 2, I don't kill those who are smart and quick enough to raise their hands and drop their weapons when confronted by my team. In GTA, I tend to play relatively cleanly. In Hitman 2, I tried to kill only the target. In Mafia, I tended to just run away from the Police or to confuse them, even if shooting them in a quiet alley would be easier. In Deus Ex, I spared all but the most inconvenient UNATCO troopers (Majestic VII were fair game though ).

The Stormtroopers want to die. That's why they stand in neat lines and shoot in predictable patterns so you can blow them away!

Yes! The guy at the receptionist desk! I didn't kill him. I took a bunch of damage, but I just ran right through that area once he started attacking. I couldn't bring myself to hurt him..
