I can't copy the quote off fanfiction.net so I'll post the chapter link below but in summary, the pre chapter notes says goes that it is hard to kill people in real life and the army put effort into making their soldiers see the enemy as not human. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5792734/10 ... al-Reality.
Well their are lots of sci-fi stories (The Narn vs Centauri conflict springs to mind) about what happens when an enemy is viewed as a lesser species.
