Firstly

let me explain why posturing works and where the
premise for the 95% rule was formed. There have been
numerous surveys carried out on soldiers in wartime, which
reveal that in most conflicts, bar the Vietnam War (I'll
discuss that later) -at the point of actually killing another
human being, even at the threat of being killed themselves -
95% of the soldiers became conscientious objectors. That is,
at the point of actually killing another person of the same
species 95% of the people couldn't do it. They shot their
bullets into the ground, high into the air or they didn't shoot
at all. Hence the need for a sergeant kicking the soldiers up
the arse and making them kill. So 5% of the soldiers did
approximately 95% of the killings.
