Concerning political/economical fights/competition, rhetoric that draws on imagery from the military/violent confrontations IS far more prevalent in the US than in Europe.
Face it, Americans like to "spice up" how you talk politics or business, relative to Europeans. All across your wide political spectrum.
THUS, taking that into account, I'm not very shocked that an American politician would use "target practice" as a way of identifying specific political antagonists.
BTW, I have little respect for the queasy, hypocritical, collectivistic European rhetoric of consensus.
For example, like one prominent Norwegian politician said "We are ALL Social Democrats, in a way".
(He was NOT from the Labour Party)
