"He noted an Army study which showed that after 60 days of sustained combat, 98 percent of soldiers become psychiatric casualties.

"The two percent that do not are already insane ..."

"[H] said, War is one of the most traumatic things we human beings can go through. War drives people insane.

"It follows that if human beings were naturally violent, this would not be so.

"He noted an Army study which showed that after 60 days of sustained, day and night combat, 98 percent of soldiers become psychiatric casualties.

"The two percent that do not are already insane; they are psychopaths who can kill relentlessly without remorse..."

Oh, my!

So sure of himself.

So glib.

But!

Is this all substantiated by history?

Especially over the past 100 years of warfare, whether "Modern Warfare," or "Who Knows Warfare??!!" :)
