well, this does not happen on a large scale.

there are some sociological forces at play.

currently the USA has an all-volunteer army. who volunteers? usually the guys with the least alternative opportunities, the least education, the least "breeding".

and in that milieu you will get a few sociopaths.

on the other hand you rarely hear of this sort of shit from the british army.

at least in the last few hundred years. the brits are very proper, and civil---personally i've never read of a report of a british soldier involved in shit like this.

so it is not universal behavior with all soldiers in all wars.
