Modern research suggests that you are utterly wrong when it comes to violence. Violence damages people (those who commit it I mean), and they have many built-in impediments to it. Military training is not simple. It is difficult to take an average person and make them willing to kill. Ability isn't the sticking point, humans are really quite easy to kill, we're pretty fragile. One big reason people aren't butchering each other in the streets is because those who butcher, by and large, are crippled by the trauma of it. Having a rational justification for violence (protecting ones self, protecting ones family, protecting ones nation) does nothing to assuage the deep-rooted trauma that inflicting violence on another human being causes. PTSD is a neurological malady, not a psychological one.
