Remember when killing someone actually was the hard choice? We had heroes who said it was a hard choice, anguished over it, and then felt the weight of the decision hanging over them for the rest of their life? Sometimes you'd even get manly tears of manliness and the proposed shootee helping them hold the gun and reassuring them it was okay, son. They'd have tried and exhausted all the other options, even the longshots, first before admitting their failure and having to "make the hard choice".

Now when someone says "we gotta make the hard choices" it is more like "okay, so hard choice time, skippity-dee *blammo*, who's up for watching some Big Bang Theory and ordering fries". There is no sense that it is weighing on them, or that it feels anything other than the most convenient and simplistic option. Just calling something a hard choice does not make it so. Frankly I see a lot of politicians falling down that same rabbit hole. People pretty much falling over themselves to find reasons why they shouldn't try alternatives to killing and why they should resort to it first, yet still calling it a hard choice.
