If we take a look at what it ultimately means to be alpha - in the rawest bioligcal sense - in entails the role of being a protector. When push comes to shove, that can mean being able and willing to kill for your own and your family's means.

However, I met a few soldiers with combat experience in my time, even one special forces guy. All of them were incredible blue pilled betas, most of them damaged by PTSD.

I would have imagined for such experience to strip away the layers of illusion, revealing the reality underneath it all. But it seems to be the opposite. Then again, I never killed anybody (that I know of) - so what the hell do I know?

What is your experience?
