Going back to the OP.
Jinn has seen the outcome of what military training is,
and has been for eons.
The dehumanizing of the Other, has always been a necessary part of 'soldiering up.'
My ex-husband's son was called up from army reserve, for two turns in Iraq.
My ex-husband was in tears after he heard his son spouting at the dinner table:
"Yeah, those ragheads are in for a surprise."
That was not the Dustin I knew either.
