Sternn likes to believe that America is a special kind of evil, that's it.
By the very nature of war, we dehumanize those we're fighting. We did it at home when we supported the war, and the soldiers have to be the ones to act out that dehumanization. We'd like to think we'd act differently, but the thing is anybody can do it. I've read even non-combatants like journalists and anthropologists lash out violently after being witness to war zones. This is the nature of war and the consequences of forgetting that every damn generation.
