What's the meaning of "after" here?
“What’s it like over there, Sarge?” Murph asked sheepishly. He was sitting cross-legged in the snow, his rifle over his lap like he was cradling a doll.
Sterling laughed. “God, that fucking question.” He had begun gathering rocks and tossing them into my upturned Kevlar.
Murph looked away from him.
He spoke firmly. “They aren’t gonna pop up and wait for you to shoot them. Remember your fundamentals and you’ll be able to do what needs to be done. It’s hard at first, but it’s simple. Anybody can do it. Get a steady position and a good sight picture, control your breathing and squeeze. For some people, it’s tough after. But most people want to do it when the time comes.”
What's the meaning of "after" in " For some people, it’s tough after. "? Does it mean it will be tough after killing a person?
Thanks!
