Dude, we're not talking about psychopaths.

Where's Dr Ute !

That is the definition of a Sociopath, now folks argue over the degree of conscience a sociopath has it doesn't matter. Your definitions are in left field.

This definitions arguing is taxing & not very funny but I'm doing the best I can with it to be entertaining.

I don't care for long drawn out definition arguing as well, and I'm mostly screwing with you here.

I do find it interesting that when you started to jot down the requirements to be a good Soldier your first thought was Sociopath. Gives me insight to your understanding of the military and Soldiers.

When I see that, I can only imagine you see all soldiers as SGT Barnes

Good point. That probably is where I got that.

I've discussed Platoon with a number of Vietnam Vets, infantrymen too. BLUF - Oliver Stone fantasies.
The big thing they all said is there was no smoking weed or drinking before missions or their fellow Soldiers would frag you.

Depends when they served in Vietnam, when morale collapsed after 1969, there was a serious drug problem in Vietnam, weed wasn't even a big deal, the drug of choice in Vietnam was actually heroin. It was cheap and plentiful, it was everywhere, in Vietnam they could get high grade smack for a week, only cost them $2.

I'd have to say that "Apocalypse Now" more promeniently established my Vietnam perceptions.

For whatever reason, I've had a lot dealings with Academy graduates: they never liked me, I never liked them.

SERGEANT BARNES DID NOTHING WRONG.

Elias was a rat.

Colonel Kilgore did nothing wrong neither, all he wanted to do was surf that beach.

Colonel Kurtz did nothing wrong, he was the only one fighting the war.
