I don't think the veterans are doing it just when talking about science. So that'd mean it would be psychotic, according to you. At least that's how I understood what you wrote.

dehumanization is part of military

as the commenter said, they say it because it's drilled into them. but it's drilled into them because it's dehumanizing. so yes, it is psychotic.

saying an action is psychotic is not the same as saying people who do an action are psychotic. that's the difference between saying "you're being silly" and "you're a silly person".

I'm just commenting that they said they didn't call them psychotic but also from the first message and the line you quoted it sounds like they are calling them psychotic.

males and females is still psychotic if you’re not specifically talking science like biology, statistics, etc.

dehumanization is part of military

first of all, i didn’t call them psychotic. read it again.

I'm not trying to take part in the rest of the argument, it just confused me a bit
