@brokenshakles @Aly @BarelyEagle @pirin04 @sickburnbro One of the ways to get into the upper echelons of intelligence work, at least back in the day, was setting up your partner to die.

Even special forces, who are thugs trusted with nothing, have to befriend a bunny or puppy or kitty.... and kill it for no reason other than the order. Theres actually a list for what type animal is allowed, because it has to form the right connection in the brain where killing it creates such trauma that the personality of the person changes. Cant be a fish or a snake or a rat, as many people could disassociate from the act, and disassociation would reduce the trauma. Cant be "fake" killing.

It changes the brain on a fundamental level, it can be seen on MRI, and you better believe they schedule a "physical" before and after, to check their homework, to see if it worked.
