Re: Creating Military Culture From Scratch
Anyone you continue to serve with becomes difficult to endanger (unless they are a real #(*@&, which presents its own set of problems). Keeping that detachment is difficult.

Re: Creating Military Culture From Scratch
I would assume the recruitment and training process would weed out most of those that had a major problem with death, killing, and seeing others die. Of course only the real complete/partial sociopaths would have no problem with that.

Re: Creating Military Culture From Scratch
Dehumanizing the enemy is darn near required for effective warfare. Treating "the enemy" like fellow human beings with ALL civil rights you have loses wars.
