It might be so,but throughout the history culture,philosophy,arts,literature,etc,have been trying hard to introduce and show people alternative ways to control and redirect that instinct to a more civilized and humane behavior so we could all enjoy the beauties of this world without being forced to wipe ourselves out of the map every once in a while.

But it doesn't have to be like that for ever...We can love or at least like or tolerate each other and enjoy a peaceful easy going and satisfying life which is natural and fun at the same time or we could continue being wild beasts and make hell after hell on earth while making tons of worthless pieces of paper and chunks of minerals for the profit of the elites so they can continue this age old insanity for a little longer... The choice is ours to make.
We are the top preds of this planet I think we can do it all. Our capacity for love is the same as it is to kill, so you can't just cut out one instinct. You might be able to hide it for a while but it is lurking in the shadows for the first opportunity to be free again.

"To the extent we can shift away from relying on troops and rely more heavily on equipment-
That could present an opportunity."
Absolutely disgusting. But yet you won't hear a single talking head on the numerous cable networks say a thing about this.

I really don't understand how people can live with themselves knowing that they kill woman and children for profit. Its satanical. RIP.
Ok so isis cuts heads off anyone that disagrees with them what should we do?
The whole "beheading video" thing is meant for western consumption and to create outrage. In other words, it's a propaganda tool to get the public backing for more war against the barbarians. Makes you wonder why they'd do that, doesn't it?
Groups like ISIS, and the mythical Khorasan, that nobody had ever heard of, are nothing more than carefully crafted constructs to instill fear and disgust. After all, who wouldn't be outraged?
Trouble is, so many people just follow the flock and bay for revenge and action, rather than applying any analytical thinking, which is the whole aim of those behind it all. Those in the videos, with the masks and scary attire are not the ones orchestrating it all. The ones tasked with that job sit in air conditioned boardrooms and wear expensive suits. No, not the politicians, they are just the enablers dispensing the cash, I mean the real decision makers, the corporate money men and bankers.
If peace broke out all over, they'd lose $Trillions, and we can't be having that no can we?
I think morally most animals are superior to us and they definitely not love their fellow own kind animals one day and kill them the next,that is just stupid and unnecessary...This is what humans do ,humans also kill, rape and sometimes eat their own children but that kind of behavior is been seen very rarely if at all in animal kingdom...So what you are talking about happens just because we are the only animal that really thinks and dreams and creates stuff in our heads which in turn scares the hell out of us and then turns us into a bunch of fearful aggressive beasts that will kill for no real good reason,or just do it because we are afraid of being killed...Animals do not do it because they do not fear something that is only in their minds.

The big question is whether what you suggest is an alternative or just an aspect of ourselves. Love one day kill the next without either in conflict. We are beasts in a sense, your ideas suggest that cows are superior because they do not also hate kill etc.
