According to a recent documentary you have to be vaguely insane to actually kill people anyway, regardless of whether you're in the army or not. Because to look into another mans eyes and kill them takes guts. Hence why executioners used to put black bags over the criminals heads...so they don't have to look at them.
Another interesting fact was that in one of the early 1900 wars [can't remember which, but it included basic guns, large black furry hats and red suits] some/most soldiers never fired their weapon and when they did purposely aimed to miss.
