    Ben L. Salomon’s body had 76 bullet and bayonet wounds - many which would have been when he was still alive.
    He is one of 17 Jewish Americans known to have received the Medal of Honor since its beginning in the American Civil War to the present day.

    I know I'm commenting on an older video and all but something about this really gets to me. I'm generally strongly opposed to war and bloodshed, but this was a great man. I've heard it said that there are only two cases where men confidently shoot to kill. Either they're sociopaths, or they're acting out of love for their own men. Ben Salomon clearly loved his comrades dearly, and paid the ultimate price to protect as many as he could. May his memory be a blessing.

      No there’s a anther way, when you believe what you do it right and your loyal to the cause. Once someone has achieved those two things killing becomes easy because now you know your in the right(it’s also helps if your army has some kind of moral aspect, like spreading a religion, enforcing strict honor to prevent rape, genocide ETC stuff like that makes you fighting easier)

      Doctors and other highly successful people have a lot higher chance of being psychopaths as being a psychopath gives you a lot of useful characteristics - self confidence, critical thinking under pressure and dedication to achieve things they want often beigh light on ethics. So if he wanted to protect his men, assuming he was a psychopath, he pulled the trigger without any hesitation and could weight his options a lot quicker and easier than an average person. As once said, actions of few dictate lives of many. Just look at the fighter pilot kills.
