Interesting article! I remember that the study estimated that 2% of the enlisted men in any military have what was referred to as psychopathic tendancies. I don't remember if the 2% ratio applies to our population as a whole or just the military but Grossman suggested that these individuals will gravitate to the different specialty/elite units and appear to the observer to be the perfect warriors.

Bev,
I do not personally believe that our species will ever face extinction the same way that others have - but I definitely think the greatest threats we face will be of our own making.

I have really enjoyed everyones comments - unfortunately I have to go to work soon (boo). My coworkers are probably in for an earful .
Take care,
