I was surprised to find out how that was the norm in about 98% of soldiers through WWII, at least by Brit and US research. Most people just don't want to kill another human being.
That's why we have battle buddies now. It's a lot easier to justify killing to protect a friend than because some nerd back at HQ said so.
