I always wondered about the logic of that. Here's a sociopath, what
shall we do with him? Ah, the perfect thing, put a rifle in his hand.

I'd have a thought a sociopath would be absolutely ideal for the Army.
Someone who's prepared to Kill and follow orders, with no conscience.
Wasn't there a TV documentary on a few months back which gave the
statistic that only a small percentage of soldiers in Big Mistake 2
actually shot (aimed) at the enemy, they couldn't bring themselves to do
it.

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
To the BI engineer, the glass is only half as big as it needs to be
...... and it's bloody near empty. "BOY".

A sociopath might be prepared to kill with no conscience. But why
would he be inclined to follow orders?
