<br/><br/> "Psychologists, theologians, and a journalist who researched war for years hold that, under certain conditions, otherwise ordinary people can be susceptible to adopting a warped mentality in which they take pleasure in another's suffering....But most cite the strangeness of a war zone, where otherwise honorable people--awash in feelings of duty, camaraderie, and revenge--sometimes lose the moral compass that guided their behavior in their former lives." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article discusses how "the fiery emotions of war and a foreign environment can conspire to lower moral inhibitions."
