I've used WWJBD. I don't remember how it stuck with me, and I haven't killed anyone yet.
For those who are as puzzled by that as I was: I think JB = Jack Bauer, hero of an American TV series called 24. Bauer is a counterterrorism agent; AAUI he's portrayed as smart, heroic, omnicompetent, violent, principled but not particularly scrupulous, and notoriously willing to go as far as torture to save lives.
(I haven't watched 24 and would be glad of correction if my characterization is wrong. Or for that matter if I've got the wrong JB.)
James Bond. Jack Bauer could work too.
Not great for moral guidance, but sometimes seems to help with hesitation.
Aha. Of course, unlike Jack Bauer who is portrayed as smart, heroic, omnicompetent, violent, and principled but not particularly scrupulous, James Bond is portrayed as smart, beroic, omnicompetent, violent, and principled but not particularly scrupulous.
