In our previous newsletter we posted a scene from the movie Saving Private Ryan depicting the attack at Omaha Beach against Germany by the United States during the Second World War (D-Day, June 6, 1944).
Men exited landing crafts and were immediately slaughtered by German machine-gun fire. Many scholars consider this scene one of the most authentic depictions of an amphibious invasion in a movie.
"How does this relentless scene of men running into machine-gun fire–and being slaughtered–support the theory of evolutionary psychology that warfare is a product of male aggression?"
