so, to bring this thread back, I got a question. I often hear complaints that soldiers "dehumanize" their enemies; doing things like wain fleet in avatar, yelling things like "Yeah baby! Get some!"
Now, if I saw a real soldier do something like that, I would be pretty disgusted. But, now that I think about it, I can understand why they do it. I think there are very very very very very very very very very few soldiers who enjoy killing. I think most soldiers are probably there to protect their country, and because the military is their career, it's what they do; it's what they know. So, if a soldier told me that they dehumanize their enemy, to suppress the feelings of killing someone, and all the horrors of war, I would believe that. tl;dr: I'm asking if soldiers ever dehumanize their enemies so that they aren't as emotionally shocked by each kill they have to make, and by what is going on in war. Because that, I can understand.
