My friend’s dad was in Korea and he swears they used mass ‘conditioning’ for soldiers.
As he said, “How else are they going to get little farm boys who say yes m’am and go to church every Sunday to just kill someone on command. You can order it, you can expect it, but it’s something else for them to actually pull the trigger on a human face.”
“How else are they going to get little farm boys who say yes m’am and go to church every Sunday to just kill someone on command. You can order it, you can expect it, but it’s something else for them to actually pull the trigger on a human face. Especially if that person is a fellow citizen, or family member."?
Growing up on a farm is pretty much programing in and of itself.
You shoot at us, and we shoot back.
Having been raised on a farm, we’re just better shots.
We live, they die.
Not when that human face is doing everything in their power to kill you. Self preservation is a very strong motivator to kill the enemy before he kills you.
