"People like ourselves"-you mean, like Americans, during the Northern Colonial War? Plenty of states had both Blue and Grey. People will FIND an excuse to kill "people like themselves".

These men must be identified and managed closely as a social defense, because they are worth 50 men each in a fight. The first group is either an intelligent never-been-caught killer or will be part of a prison battalion. The second kind has at least some empathy shortage, maybe for outside his immediate family and closest friends, and isn't going to suffer for doing a job that is approved by superiors and pays well to do. <br />Normal men aim high, don't shoot, find some excuse, and die for it unless training bypasses inhibitions built by family and society. We don't want to kill people like ourselves, and expect the same. <br /><br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-26637728576457788542019-10-31T05:32:29.767-07:002019-10-31T05:32:29.767-07:00My ex commented once"when you break up with s...My ex commented once"when you break up with someone, don't they always say you sucked in bed".

My guess is that he is a feminist, and part of the whole intellectual cadre against toxic masculinity. Also, there is the problem of the state monopoly on violence, getting in the way of males natural aggression. My short answer is that we are natural killers and only State intervention messes up that brain wiring.

It's that humans, most normal humans, don't like to kill other humans. <br /><br />This book is a must-read and apparently a free read if you've got Prime. https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Psychological-Cost-Learning-Society/dp/0316040932/ref=asc_df_0316040932/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312710253827&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16363766246750471760&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032166&hvtargid=aud-800703102928:pla-432157150736&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=61681020945&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=312710253827&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16363766246750471760&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032166&hvtargid=aud-800703102928:pla-432157150736<br /><br />So, massed fire, spray-and-pray, is less personal. Like the blanks loaded in some but not all of the rifles in a firing squad, if you're spraying and your buddies are spraying, then no one can feel bad that they singled out that gook/German/whoever. <br /><br />The bankers *did* want the war won, after all, at least up to WWII they did. The ideology we were fighting was one that would have wiped out all bankers, everyone nonwhite, everyone not the right kind of white, then they'd really start cannibalizing themselves... <br /><br />But I digress. The way around the problem of most soldiers not wanting to kill was the "trainfire" system you and I were both taught in the army, a target pops up in your field of fire and you shoot it without thinking too much about it. Make it a reflex. <br /><br />That solved the problem at that level, but as the book points out, the number of rounds fired per enemy killed still went up, so the generals and Dupont and Remington were all happy. alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-27098805895745404552019-10-29T19:19:02.405-07:002019-10-29T19:19:02.405-07:00Demented guy needs a shotgun with light loads and ...Demented guy needs a shotgun with light loads and sand-salt!

They just cost too much for regular people to stockpile 1000 per family member in a giant cold warehouse.

They were as good as 1995, and not bad if warmed in a pan and spiced. <br />It's a dollar worth of food and accessories in 7 dollars of processing and packaging. <br /><br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-1483805481776859182019-10-29T19:01:37.609-07:002019-10-29T19:01:37.609-07:00Nice analysis - wait of the war of all against all...Nice analysis - wait of the war of all against all to burn out, and inherit the ashes.
