Killology - Killology Killology is a term invented by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman ret. in his book On Killing. It is the study of humans killing humans. Grossman's theory, based on military statistics, is that most of the population deeply resists killing another human. Prior to the twentieth century, most soldiers were only going through the motions of firing their weapons at the enemy. For example, Grossman claims that only about 25 per cent of the soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg actually fired their weapons at enemy soldiers, while the rest reloaded weapons. He cites the number of loaded weapons recovered from the battlefield. Modern military training overrides this instinct, by: instilling rote reflexes training to view the enemy as non-human dispersing responsibility for the killing throughout.
