You're right. Only about 1% of people, trained soldiers, would shoot to kill before the world's armed forces began to adopt the Skinnerian training method. With this new training method, about 90% of men will willingly shoot to kill. Here's a great video about that subject:

Really interesting video, thank's for the link.
No problem. Lindybeige is great, has a lot of fantastic content on his channel, so if you're into military history, he's your guy for a lot of this more interesting stuff.
One of my favorites of his is a video about "where in a formation of soldiers does a rout begin?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OsLESoAGg0&t=510s

I have a feeling this 1% phenomena thing only applies to white people.
