Re: Requirements to be a Good Soldier
The military is a fundamentally social animal, sociopathy is a misinterpretation, sociopaths are driven out of the military rather quickly, usually in basic training, because they can't fit well within the team.
It's a team sport, there's no such thing as a good soldier, only a good unit. In the military, you sublimate your individual identity and drives entirely to the social group, if you're a sociopath, you're clinically incapable of doing that, and military indoctrination is designed to detect and weed that out as part of the process.
Those types are quickly exposed, doesn't take long for them to blade the team and get caught, because they can't help themselves.

The very definition of totalitarian socialism. Obviously something robots can do.

Re: Requirements to be a Good Soldier
The military is the polar opposite of sociopathy, the military is the ultimate in placing your social group, generally the nation, above all else, particularly your own individual welfare and ultimate survival.
What you interpret as sociopathy, is actually tribalism, the most social aspect of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens territorial apex predator in fact.
If you are incapable of grasping this, then it is much more likely that you are in fact the sociopath.

I'm an Alpha male, of course I'm a sociopath.

Re: Requirements to be a Good Soldier
That's not the trait of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens Alpha, the Alpha leader is the one who binds the social structure together.
You're the classic Beta, entirely about himself, with no desire nor inclination to lead, follow, or get out of the way.
Your self acclamation as being an Alpha, is actually a tell tale sign of your Beta weakness.

Re: Requirements to be a Good Soldier
What rural Canada knows, is that an Alpha never has to proclaim himself to be an Alpha, only Beta's do that, everybody knows who the Alphas are, instinctively, Alphas have no need nor desire to proclaim it.Martin Hash wrote:Says you living up in rural Canada while I attempt to take over the world.Smitty-48 wrote:That's not the trait of the Homo Sapiens Sapiens Alpha, the Alpha leader is the one who binds the social structure together.

Sounding a little insecure there, Beta, as I said, soldiers can sniff Beta's like you out, very quickly.Martin Hash wrote:Dude, look around you.

Rule number one for being a leader in the military; don't try to kid the troops.

Robots, you mean. That's my point, you can be replaced with a robot.
