Hey Veggie! Yes some of the human species are messed up, and I'm extremely happy that you've narrowed your sights. But I would argue that some US policeman, are not as bad as others. ;) I know veggie, one step at a time. :* (<-that's a kiss in old school text emoticon language) Well, on the cheek of course!!! ;)

Mankind has always had the "Fight or flee" instinct since they were "cavemen". So for some i would guess that it would be pretty easy cutting the soldiers throat if they felt they needed to do it in order to survive, it would be human instinct. I would also think that it would be easy for those who are desensitize by war that the sight of blood and the dead no longer means nothing for them.
