There's a documentary called 'The Truth About Killing' (actually it's on Youtube, I may watch it again) which is about how, in the wake of the Vietnam war, the US military (successfully) attempted to stamp out soldiers' normal, innate aversion to killing other people.
Apparently in the Vietnam war, WWII and other prior wars, something like 90% (or some equally surprising number) of soldiers either didn't shoot or deliberately missed the enemy.

Whereas we bravely stay in subs and drone operations rooms thousand of miles away.
Out of curiosity, where would you stand if you were resisting a powerful enemy that invaded the US? The middle of a parking lot?
