Well, Murdering for the thrill needs a different kind of tenacity and callousness, true.
But what you WILL discover is that the soldiers SEEK the thrill of adrenaline.
Many veterans simply get back in military, if they can, or police, or do some crazy sports.
It’s addicting. The Danger. The fact any moment Might be your last.
It makes for an glorious story.
Take French old guard as an example, the ending was truly sorrowful.
Napoleon defeated, Many of the Old guard decimated,
The stupid King disbanded an ELITE of the ELITE unit.
The Veterans with 20 years of experience!
New government was very suspicious of them and a lot of Old guards enlisted back in the army.
They were regarded with a LOT of suspicion which obviously impacted their lives.
People were very judgemental of them and weren’t appreciated for the sacrafices they’ve made.
Then, came the Body of Napoleon to Paris, old guards lined up in their old Uniforms and saluted one last time.
20 years of glory, ending sorrowful but it’s history so beautiful.
As Napoleon says, "Without Glory is death everyday.
Some men die under the shade of their olive tree, Some change the world even in defeat." - Emperor of France, Napoleon.
