That's normal survival instincts. I think people with real switchable Callous won't feel guilt or crappy, but will still be normal well-adjusted human beings is normal situations.

I once heard that about 1% of the population is able to kill effectively in combat without hesitation or feeling bad about it. Of these, about half are real psychopaths who would also be able to kill people outside of combat, and are unable to see other people with a right to live, and the other half are what they called the "true heroes" or ideal soldiers, able to kill when necessary, but also able to feel compassion when necessary.

I think that's a bit what switchable Callous might be. Although I get the impression that it's actually a big and rare advantage, bigger than a perk.
