Ekrexiphile

Coined from the Ancient Greek ἔκρηξις (Ékrēxis) meaning Explosion, Violent release of Energy and the Ancient Greek φῐλῐ́ᾱ (phĭlĭ́ā) meaning love, an Ekrexiphilia is getting sexual gratification at the idea of bombing foreign countries with no regard for their inhabitants, an Ekrexiphile supports bombing, and may often celebrate the killing of people via bombs.

If you support bombing innocents, wouldn't that make you an Ekrexiphile?)
