It's called about killing.
On killing, I'm sorry, called On Killing.
Whoa.
Right?
And by David Grossman.
And it's been out for a while.
And what was his story?
What was David Grossman?
He used to be a colonel and a psychologist in the army.
Okay.
And he's- Who's killed people?
Well, yeah, he was literally, what he wanted to know was, what-
why do some men kill and some men don't, right?
And they went through this whole analytical process all the way back to when we still had sabers and muskets and things like that.
And what he determined out of that was a couple of things.
So for example, you could have 10 infantry guys
all the same level of training, and they're meeting a threat head on, maybe one of those 10 guys actually wants to kill the other people, and he's trying, and the other ones are what he called posturing.
They're going through the motions, they're shooting, but they're shooting around over their heads, they're not actually trying to kill the guy.
Really?
Right?
