Moral decisions and instinctual decisions? GC...instincts are things we do without making decisions. You don't decide to pull your hand out of fire, you do it by instinct. When a cat just lets a bird waltz right by, is it making an "instinctual choice" to ignore it's instincts, or a "moral choice"..lol? Before you comeback with domestication..yes, wild predators also sport hunt, and they also decide not to chase prey sometimes, for reasons they are incapable of explaining to us themselves.
(again, for the record, my choice of words was meant to convey the tendency that people have to call acts of violence "senseless" or "without reason". Probably poor composition. If human wars or violence can be said to be senseless or without reason, or Min, if "godtoldmeto" isn't a reason...well, why not chimp wars, chimp violence?)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
