I know this is a film forum, but I rececently finished a difficult book that ponders those same questions you posted: "On Killing, the Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society", by Dave Grossman, revised 2009.

Many insights from this former officer Army Ranger and West Point psych professor about the training and motivational tactics, as well as the lifelong fallout from it.

Worth the time for anyone trying to underdstand this grisly business, but not a quick or uplifting read.
